newbold: The review tools are very nice here :)
tzorec: This is a good opening move :^)
newbold: it's pretty much how I start all 9x9s, yeah :)
tzorec: How are you on the standard joseki?
newbold: pretty awful actually, heh
newbold: I know like the first couple of moves for several, but that's about it :)
tzorec: Do you know the san-san (3,3) invasion one?
newbold: mostly, but inconsistently, I think
tzorec: I'll run through it
tzorec: when there is a stone on the 4,4 point (like yours) your opponent can always jump in and take the corner with the san-san invastion

tzorec: J6 is unnecessary and a bit slow in a 9x9 game
newbold: hmm
newbold: what would you have done?
newbold: H5 or H4?
tzorec: Probably 3,3 at C7
tzorec: If you wanted to jump in the deep like that then something like D7 might work better

newbold: it was too late now, right?
newbold: for the 3-3?
tzorec: Yes ... C6 was specifically made to stop a 3,3 invasion

tzorec: Also keep in mind white has the komi ... so doesn't need to get as much territory as black to win
newbold: yeah, I've won many 9x9 games as W due to komi :)
tzorec: Anyway ... I'm going to have to head off. Thanks for the game :^)
newbold: thank you, too, for the review!
tzorec: There's a great sight goproblems.com where you solve problems
newbold: ah, I've been meaning to check that one out for a while
newbold: I should really do it :)
tzorec: If you register (it's free) you can use the "auto" feature which gradually gives you harder problems as you get better
newbold: Oh, awesome -- I'll do it!
tzorec: OK - CYA :^)

-- chat --
newbold: ohhh
newbold: interesting
newbold: see, I'm still stuck in the mindset of "I can't leave H6 alone to die!"
newbold: and I fail to realize that there are other threats that can be made
tzorec: White has lots of weaknesses along its wall and C7 also acts as a ladder breaker
tzorec: If white ignores C7 and captures H6 then it's only a couple of points.

tzorec: This give white the corner territory and black outside influence
newbold: not too bad, in this case, it seems
tzorec: I didn't choose this opening because it would be difficult for white to get territory anywhere else on the board - black's influence is too strong
newbold: yes, it seems so
