Move 3

November 14, 2014

[17:11] Samraku[16k]: Ooh, these are fun. gl hf, by the way.

Move 4

[17:23] Calculatinggod[19k]: I thought it would be interesting, yeah. You as well.

Move 8

[17:59] Calculatinggod[19k]: I'm curious, is 3,6 a common opening move? I just saw it in another game in this tournament as well.

Move 9

[18:07] Samraku[16k]: as an approach to the 4-4 stone? yes, very.

Move 24

[18:43] Samraku[16k]: have you seen Nick Sibicky's lectures on "Must Know Joseki"? I'm still working on learning the ones he covers there, but even so it's still enough to help find decent moves in the corner in new situations.

[18:44] Calculatinggod[19k]: I haven't, thanks for the recomendation.

Move 28

[18:45] Samraku[16k]: Here's the link to the one on 4-4 joseki. That's the one I started with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lPfWGwVOHI

Move 46

[19:58] Samraku[16k]: s13 should have been at r13, which is joseki. If I continue to extend with s13, s12, etc., you will be more than happy to push me from ahead along the second line with r12, r11, etc..

[19:59] Samraku[16k]: I would be making 1 point with every move. That's not enough in this stage of the game to justify a move.

Move 52

[20:13] Samraku[16k]: My move (q18) would be the continuation of joseki if we didn't deviate at s13.

[20:14] Samraku[16k]: I would expect p18, r18, o17 simply because that's how the joseki ends, but that doesn't mean that's the only or even the best option.
