Sendol showed a few very painful variations. <BR/><BR/>I think B could play that cut now instead of P4 and really destroy my position. <BR/><BR/>NannyOggAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058163876793685461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10202519.post-1155149032099664142006-08-09T13:43:00.000-05:002006-08-09T13:43:00.000-05:00I think in diagram 2, there is a lot of potential ...I think in diagram 2, there is a lot of potential to develop the top for W. I even think taking the LL corner for B might be slow-ish right now, but I am not strong enough to say that for sure. <BR/><BR/>I see a lot of W potential, the question is whether I would be strong enough to develop it. Only one way to learn how to do that though, is by trying it, and correcting my mistakes when I make them. <BR/><BR/>I always used to play D3, only recently learned that it wasn't the optimal move here. I know Guo Juan talked a lot about it in the last work shop I went to, but that was in the other group, so I didn't get as much about it as I would have liked. <BR/><BR/>For B, I think locally his move is E2 when he wants to take the corner, not D3. But would have to check that.<BR/><BR/>Yes, interesting, I have been thinking about it a lot too, gotta love the way go entertains our mind, even while we are not playing.<BR/><BR/>NannyOggAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058163876793685461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10202519.post-1155148192627725542006-08-09T13:29:00.000-05:002006-08-09T13:29:00.000-05:00Interesting.

I don't quite see it (but do believe it's me not being strong enough) -- in diag. 2 W has spent four moves in the upper-left to not even kill (!) the single stone, since B still has B17, and black D3 is still, in my opinion, entirely devastating, giving B a huge corner and an easy chase while making territory. I'm afraid I'd rather have diag. 1. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Very interesting position, though! Thanks for posting it, I'm enjoying thinking about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
