Move 5

June 14, 2024

[15:31] Gelato[6d]: alrighty

Move 9

[15:31] Zazas[12k]: This part was p bad already

[15:31] Gelato[6d]: so a few concepts

[15:31] Gelato[6d]: we can go over

[15:32] Gelato[6d]: i think up to now, game is quite great still for black

[15:32] Gelato[6d]: just remember, in high handicap you dont have to save everything

[15:32] Gelato[6d]: think more about space and movement

[15:32] Zazas[12k]: Here I wanted to

[15:32] Zazas[12k]: C3

[15:32] Zazas[12k]: By far

[15:32] Gelato[6d]: for example, A vs B vs C

[15:32] Gelato[6d]: B is like, bumping your head into a wall

Move 11

[15:32] Gelato[6d]: you cant make any progress after white answers

[15:33] Gelato[6d]: so, was it a good exchange?

Move 11 + 1

[15:33] Gelato[6d]: it gives you this follow-up in sente

Move 11 + 2

[15:33] Gelato[6d]: white is strongly encouraged to connect here

[15:33] Gelato[6d]: if i dont

Move 11 + 7

[15:33] Gelato[6d]: atari drop like this cuts my stone off

[15:33] Gelato[6d]: ofc the stone is small so sacrificing can be ok for white

[15:33] Gelato[6d]: but still, black is very strong now this way

Move 11 + 7

[15:34] Zazas[12k]: The reason I played c5 was to play c7

[15:34] Gelato[6d]: black can also sagari here, and then if white eats black

Move 11 + 11

[15:34] Gelato[6d]: we move to block center

[15:34] Gelato[6d]: black is thick this way

Move 11 + 4

[15:34] Zazas[12k]: sagari?

[15:34] Gelato[6d]: hmm

[15:34] Gelato[6d]: c7 didnt work

[15:34] Gelato[6d]: sagari means to thrust down

Move 11 + 7

[15:34] Gelato[6d]: so this descending move at e2

[15:35] Gelato[6d]: is sagari

Move 9 + 1

[15:35] Gelato[6d]: in general i agree that c3 is better direction

[15:35] Gelato[6d]: because, for white, taking c3 represents life immediately

[15:35] Gelato[6d]: if white ignores from now....

Move 9 + 3

[15:36] Gelato[6d]: your A and B stones

[15:36] Gelato[6d]: coordinate a lot of pressure at this b7 point

[15:36] Gelato[6d]: this move is a "tesuji"

[15:36] Gelato[6d]: or clever play

[15:36] Gelato[6d]: ie a tactic

Move 9 + 4

[15:36] Gelato[6d]: if i cut this way

Move 9 + 13

[15:36] Gelato[6d]: black can sacrifice the stones to seal off the outside access

[15:36] Gelato[6d]: this is very big for black

[15:37] Gelato[6d]: black also keeps the corner with b3, so territory value for black is god

[15:37] Gelato[6d]: good*

Move 9 + 7

[15:37] Gelato[6d]: if black stops that sacrifice tactic

[15:37] Gelato[6d]: white*

[15:37] Gelato[6d]: black can save the b7 stones like this

[15:37] Gelato[6d]: and white is not alive anymore

[15:37] Gelato[6d]: and black has a big target to attack

[15:37] Gelato[6d]: do you know what it means in go to "attack"

[15:38] Gelato[6d]: like, the definition i mean

[15:38] Zazas[12k]: Nope

[15:38] Zazas[12k]: Just eat?

[15:38] Gelato[6d]: nope haha

[15:38] Gelato[6d]: do you want to use voice channel on the club discord for review?

[15:38] Zazas[12k]: Yeah
