[23:29] Airstrike[1k]: Hi. You guys sit in some discord or just typing?

[23:29] daniel.maryanovsky6de02f114b09455e[5k]: I'm just going to type here methinks

[23:29] mark5000[6d]: This is a text-based lesson. There's no audio or video.

[23:30] Andre br[18k]: ^ same question! Can't listen now but appreciate if it's text bases

[23:30] Andre br[18k]: Text based*

[23:30] mark5000[6d]: This lesson is part of my lesson series becoming 9-kyu-a-series-for-beginners

Move 0 + 12

[23:31] bugcat[1d]: hi Mark c:

[23:31] GKCDQ[6k]: P ?

[23:31] mark5000[6d]: o/ bugcat

[23:31] GKCDQ[6k]: P3 !

[23:31] dachen11[3k]: o2

[23:31] bugcat[1d]: What is this joseki? I've never seen it

[23:31] Andre br[18k]: P3?

[23:31] THE_ME[2k]: 02

[23:31] mark5000[6d]: It's not joseki--only a construct

[23:31] bugcat[1d]: ah, OK

Move 0 + 13

[23:31] daniel.maryanovsky6de02f114b09455e[5k]: o2

Move 0 + 14

[23:32] daniel.maryanovsky6de02f114b09455e[5k]: and as a result of that cut, black loses the three in the corner

[23:32] daniel.maryanovsky6de02f114b09455e[5k]: ?

[23:32] GKCDQ[6k]: so yeah O2 i guess is better

[23:33] GKCDQ[6k]: forces white to make a choice

Move 0 + 20

[23:35] daniel.maryanovsky6de02f114b09455e[5k]: too much aji after the connection

Move 0 + 15

[23:38] daniel.maryanovsky6de02f114b09455e[5k]: black connects instead?

Move 0 + 16

[23:38] Ropeyboy[6d]: can you play r1 instead of r2?

Move 0 + 17

[23:38] mark5000[6d]: Yes, I think so.

[23:39] mark5000[6d]: But you may leave more ko threats for your opponent.

[23:39] Ropeyboy[6d]: i see

Move 0 + 12

[23:44] GKCDQ[6k]: S14 ?

[23:44] rbhernandez92[7k]: cut and sacrifice?

Move 0 + 11

[23:46] GKCDQ[6k]: T14 ?

[23:46] mark5000[6d]: I imagine many of you found the answer by now.

[23:46] ayaros[4k]: R14

[23:46] rbhernandez92[7k]: q15?

[23:47] juaniten[4k]: r14

[23:47] GKCDQ[6k]: yeah it's R14

Move 0 + 12

[23:47] GKCDQ[6k]: pieak at the nose or whatever

Move 0 + 16

[23:50] rbhernandez92[7k]: leaves white very vulnerable to another cut

Move 0 + 17

[23:51] rbhernandez92[7k]: i see it now, thank you

[23:52] mark5000[6d]: That's all the material that I planned for today. Any questions about these positions, about clamping, or other questions?

Move 0 + 15

[23:52] GKCDQ[6k]: i have a question

[23:53] GKCDQ[6k]: in both your examples, clamping was very usefull because it was close to the edge of the board

[23:53] GKCDQ[6k]: would you say it's more used on the edges than further away ?

Move 0 + 11

[23:53] mark5000[6d]: Yes

[23:53] FrostedNuke[2d]: there are non edge clamps still

[23:53] mark5000[6d]: It's most common on the second line, and also the third line.

[23:54] mark5000[6d]: Of course clamping can work on the fourth line and above, too. The second and third lines are only the most common.

Move 0 + 15

[23:54] GKCDQ[6k]: Thank you very much for your time :)

Move 0 + 11

[23:55] rbhernandez92[7k]: thank you. this is my first lesson. do they happen regularly?

[23:55] ayaros[4k]: Thank you Mark5000

[23:55] juaniten[4k]: Thank you very much! My first lesson too, I did'nt know those existed!

[23:55] GentleBent[5k]: very good, thanks a lot!

[23:55] mark5000[6d]: You're welcome. I give these lessons on Saturdays. The time is not consistent, because I have a newborn to care for. But you can find past lessons at becoming 9-kyu-a-series-for-beginners

[23:56] jaydfox[10k]: In both examples, the clamping stones were on the same line, relative to the edge. How does the situation change when a clamp is stacked away from the edge, e.g., black on the 2nd and 4th lines, white on the 3rd?

Move 0 + 15

[23:56] rbhernandez92[7k]: great thank you! good luck with the infant. all staying healthy, i hope :)

Move 0 + 11

[23:56] mark5000[6d]: jaydfox, that would be somewhat rare.

Move 0 + 3

[23:58] mark5000[6d]: This isn't a connecting tactic.

[23:58] mark5000[6d]: Suppose you're in the endgame

Move 0 + 9

[23:58] mark5000[6d]: White can attach alternately like this

[23:58] mark5000[6d]: It's possible sometimes

[23:59] mark5000[6d]: Does that make sense?

[23:59] jaydfox[10k]: I see, the stone on R14 made it possible.
