[0:10] Eugene[9k]: Let's talk about whether black has to play tengen. I've realised another reason, other than first move advantage offset, is that it forces us to ahve a stone in the middle as well as ones on the side, that we can attach to

[6:00] Eugene[9k]: Last time we had : 1) Black plays tengen first

[6:00] Eugene[9k]: 2) 4 more stones can be placed freely (2 from each player)

[6:01] Eugene[9k]: 3) The every move must be played in contact with another stone

[6:01] Eugene[9k]: 4) undo of accidentally not a contact move

[7:42] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: tengen also allows windmills in the center, tho i guess any stone above 2nd line would make windmills possible

[7:43] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: but its a way to open up the game instantly, or else were just crawling outwards from corners >__>

Move 1

[7:45] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: and i feel like that since white is the one who is forced to attach first, its almost better to atttach the center stone since that has more room to maneuver

[7:45] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: because shape-wise, when you attach to "weak stone" its usually best shape to hane

[7:46] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: and after hane cross-cut makes more sense than hane back, since neither one has solid shape anywhere around

[7:47] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: and oc for the same reason it makes sense to then extend all the stones

[7:48] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: so if we make a windmill, it makes sense to have it in area where we can both run without hitting our head in to the wall xD

Move 13

[22:18] Eugene[9k]: $*!% how can I be getting in trouble already :D :D

Move 14

[22:22] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: heh you clamped!

Move 15

[22:22] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: im just trying to keep my shapes locally strong here >___>

[22:23] Eugene[9k]: Yeah, I hated the look of the top triangle if I didn't put a stone in there right away

[22:24] Eugene[9k]: But that was probably overly panicy :D :D

Move 17

[22:26] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: xD

[22:26] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: but hey i cant actually make extension there!

[22:26] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: so its gonna turn into mess regardless ^^

[22:29] Eugene[9k]: Yeah I might have liked B16 :D

Move 19

[22:37] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: aaaargh

[22:37] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: b15 vital shape but neither of us can play it xD

[22:37] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: so i guess the group is actively in seki or something..? xD

Move 20

October 31, 2022

[1:27] benjito[6k]: since black can't jump in in the usual place, is it still a vital shape?

Move 45

November 8, 2022

[22:22] Eugene[9k]: Huh - I was expecting J8, which I thought was worse for me.

Move 64

November 13, 2022

[10:16] Eugene[9k]: It just fully dawned on me ... no monkey jump under these rules :)

Move 66

[21:23] Eugene[9k]: I think I have to connect solidly here to prevent an attachment at R14 from becoming a nuisance

Move 95

November 22, 2022

[3:24] Eugene[9k]: Variation: I suppose this could be OK?

Move 107

November 23, 2022

[21:14] Eugene[9k]: Hmm I might not have needed to defend that, since no-one can play at R1 yet

Move 114

November 26, 2022

[8:30] Eugene[9k]: What dastardliness is this?

Move 139

December 9, 2022

[23:16] Eugene[9k]: woops eh

Move 143

December 10, 2022

[11:01] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: Variation: i was so expecting this cut, so i didnt even read anything else >__>

[11:19] Eugene[9k]: I thought connection at A8 might give me enough liberties to kill those three stones, but the connection is no good

[11:29] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: yeah >___>

[11:30] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: i thought you tried making a5 possible somehow there ^^

[11:32] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: Variation: i think this works? not sure if it can be killed with just attachments

[11:34] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: Variation: ah but nvm, i'd just block this side

[11:40] Eugene[9k]: A5 ... a dream :)

[20:45] Eugene[9k]: Oh my tears they fall like rain...

[20:45] Eugene[9k]: I think it was close until that last move of mine :D

[20:52] 💖 KoBa 💖[2k]: yeah, i was bit surprised by b12 >____>
