Post subject: 25. mic (9k) vs. POGO (10k)

Hello,

this will be my first Malkovich game (ever). I'm so excited, I just can ... should stop singing now and make my first move. We agreed on

6.5 komi
no opening books
(from my side) one move per day
to be fair, friendly and have fun

(I'll change/edit this list, if I have forgotten something)

Pogo, I wish you a lot of fun! Good game.

Not to sure how to use diagrams "yet" but will update when i figure it out. (meh i used a sgf) As for myself. most of you know me from GD or KGS as prophet19 I started go by playing turbogo after my wife bought the "birthday board" eventually i joined kgs were ive been taught by Tinstar (CGA Vice presedent) and Shygost. Ive been playing around 7-8 months or so and have hit a 9-11k level. Ether way good game!

Hello Pogo, this thread talks about creating diagrams, hope it helps. By the way, I really like your "How I become addicted to go" story One other thing about making moves in diagrams.

Is there another, more practical way to make moves? Below the move your opponent played, there is 'show diagram text'. If you click that, it will give you the code for the board he played, which then you can edit. Then you just have to change his 'W' move to 'O', (to remove the 'I just played here' mark) and play your own move. That's also the fastest way to make multiple similar diagrams.

Attachments (tsukes) are urgent almost every time they occur on a lone stone.

At first glance to some people, this move may look slow - but it is in fact very large. The White stone goes from an approach move to a zombie stone with a bit of aji in 1 move. Also, it makes Black's corner fully protected and solid like a rock. However, I can understand why Black played the approach - 2 is also very large. In fact, I would dare say that 2 is just a bit larger than 1, not significantly.

With a two stone wall, white must go one space farther. In general, this kick - whether from a 3-4 or 4-4 - is bad unless white is already being pincered here. Anyway, I'll unhide this comment at some point in the future so mic can learn from it. So what is the better play in this situation, then? This is some thing I don't feel bad about playing, though my opening is very weak (some thing I've been trying to work on--and thus the question ).

Loose rule of thumb is jump the number of stones in your wall + 1. So from 1 stone, a two point jump, 2 stones, a 3 point jump etc. The rule is designed primarily IIRC for 3rd line plays, but it's a useful guideline. Frankly, I doubt the over concentration in shape is going to make any difference to a game at this level anyway

At least locally. My guess is that in a professional game you wouldn't see this joseki emerge just yet when there's still an open corner, though. Black has good influence on the right and has cramped white's star stone on the left, so I think black comes out ahead.
