Move 234

March 20, 2014

[12:36] saxmaam[?]: Made it!

[12:36] khsieh[?]: cool

Move 7

[12:37] khsieh[?]: F3 is used to approach corner

[12:37] khsieh[?]: u played it out excellently

Move 14

[12:37] khsieh[?]: although u might want to play like this

Move 7 + 9

[12:38] khsieh[?]: this is an example joseki

[12:38] khsieh[?]: where white gets the outside

[12:39] khsieh[?]: and black gets the inside

[12:39] khsieh[?]: any questions?

[12:39] saxmaam[?]: No. I'll have to take my time with it later.

[12:39] khsieh[?]: okay

[12:40] saxmaam[?]: Any more you want to add?

[12:40] khsieh[?]: okay

[12:40] khsieh[?]: back now

Move 15

[12:41] saxmaam[?]: black looks lonely at c14

[12:41] khsieh[?]: you played like this which is fine but you might want to play sometime later a move to lock in black

Move 15 + 1

[12:41] saxmaam[?]: ok

Move 16

[12:41] khsieh[?]: i was available to survive

[12:41] khsieh[?]: C14

[12:42] saxmaam[?]: yes you were :)

[12:42] khsieh[?]: because most of you're pieces are on the 4'th line

[12:42] khsieh[?]: this is because

[12:42] khsieh[?]: remember this theory

[12:43] khsieh[?]: 4th line is for mojo

[12:43] khsieh[?]: which means that you get most of the center board and little of the sides

[12:43] khsieh[?]: 3rd line means concentrated amounts on the side and not much in the middle

[12:43] khsieh[?]: it depends on your play style

[12:43] saxmaam[?]: ok

[12:44] khsieh[?]: btw

[12:44] khsieh[?]: if you play on the 4th line

[12:44] khsieh[?]: u have to be prepared to fighting

Move 18

[12:44] khsieh[?]: N3 was a bad move

[12:44] khsieh[?]: because

[12:44] khsieh[?]: C14 D14 are lonely

[12:45] khsieh[?]: you should keep attacking

[12:45] khsieh[?]: so may be like

[12:45] saxmaam[?]: ah ...

Move 17 + 5

[12:45] khsieh[?]: as you can see

[12:45] khsieh[?]: by making black run

[12:45] khsieh[?]: you got

[12:45] khsieh[?]: F16 H16 and managed to close off your land

[12:46] khsieh[?]: C12 also closed off your side land

[12:46] khsieh[?]: also

[12:46] khsieh[?]: black didn't get any points by running

[12:46] khsieh[?]: he only managed to take some of your points in the a-c section from 15-13

[12:46] khsieh[?]: which is approx. only 15 points max

[12:46] saxmaam[?]: would it have been bad to play c13?

[12:47] khsieh[?]: yes

[12:47] khsieh[?]: when fighting you don't want to be in contact most of the time

[12:47] khsieh[?]: C15 move was good because you forced me to play C10 assuming there wasn't d10

[12:48] khsieh[?]: assuming you touched at c13

Move 17 + 1

[12:48] khsieh[?]: then i would have a variety of moves

Move 17 + 2

[12:49] saxmaam[?]: yeah, I hate those ... :)

[12:49] khsieh[?]: i could hang down to threaten to take out C13 or you're inside

[12:49] khsieh[?]: so yeah

Move 22

[12:49] khsieh[?]: it played out like this

[12:49] khsieh[?]: not a bad exchange

Move 17 + 5

[12:49] khsieh[?]: but not the best comparing to this

Move 22

[12:49] khsieh[?]: this one just has less land

[12:49] khsieh[?]: but the groups are strong

[12:49] khsieh[?]: incld black

Move 23

[12:50] khsieh[?]: B10 was to create on the second line

[12:50] khsieh[?]: the second line is best for surviving because you can create eyes easily

Move 28

[12:51] khsieh[?]: N16 is a bad move

[12:51] khsieh[?]: like i said bfor

[12:51] khsieh[?]: u should try to squish and pressure the black group as much as possible

[12:51] khsieh[?]: say you played

Move 27 + 3

[12:51] khsieh[?]: you can see that black is squished down to you

[12:51] khsieh[?]: 're

[12:51] khsieh[?]: white bottom base

[12:52] khsieh[?]: consequently

[12:52] khsieh[?]: black cannot get a large house

[12:52] khsieh[?]: here's how it turned out

Move 177

[12:53] khsieh[?]: look how black's base has extended more than half the map

[12:53] saxmaam[?]: No kidding

[12:53] khsieh[?]: yeah

Move 31

[12:53] saxmaam[?]: At this point, I'm just trying to annoy you.

[12:53] saxmaam[?]: (by move 177, that is)

[12:53] saxmaam[?]: and stay connected

Move 177

[12:54] khsieh[?]: yeah

Move 31

[12:54] saxmaam[?]: flies biting at your ankles

Move 32

[12:54] khsieh[?]: okay

[12:54] khsieh[?]: Q7 is a good mov

[12:54] khsieh[?]: e

[12:54] khsieh[?]: ayou are trying to destroy black influence in Q7 area

[12:54] saxmaam[?]: new one for me.

[12:55] khsieh[?]: and pin Q4 into the corner

[12:55] khsieh[?]: although the exact location i think should've been deeper

Move 31

[12:55] khsieh[?]: actually

[12:55] khsieh[?]: deeper is worse because Q10 is countering

Move 34

[12:55] khsieh[?]: O7 pulling back was bad

[12:56] saxmaam[?]: oh

[12:56] khsieh[?]: you should've pressured black into the corner more and then pull back

[12:56] khsieh[?]: so like

Move 33 + 9

[12:56] khsieh[?]: there you go

[12:56] khsieh[?]: see the difference?

Move 42

[12:56] saxmaam[?]: definitely

[12:59] khsieh[?]: yeah

Move 43

[12:59] khsieh[?]: with this move i was trying to get into the white circle of incluence

[12:59] khsieh[?]: as you can see

[12:59] khsieh[?]: white has a wallish shape facing center wise

[13:00] khsieh[?]: O13 K16 P9 K3

[13:00] saxmaam[?]: ok

Move 44

[13:01] khsieh[?]: with this move you have to be prepared to fight

[13:01] saxmaam[?]: did I have a better option?

[13:01] khsieh[?]: umm

Move 43

[13:01] khsieh[?]: close ofof

[13:01] khsieh[?]: D7

[13:01] saxmaam[?]: ok

[13:01] khsieh[?]: black will probably got H6

[13:02] khsieh[?]: and athen close off your wall

[13:02] khsieh[?]: K6

Move 43 + 11

[13:03] khsieh[?]: see how white gets land on both sides and black is squished in an odd shape?

[13:03] saxmaam[?]: yes

[13:03] khsieh[?]: yeah

Move 57

[13:03] khsieh[?]: with this move i was squishing you down into the side

[13:03] saxmaam[?]: right

[13:03] khsieh[?]: as you might've noticed in go or baduk

[13:04] khsieh[?]: you don't try to kill

[13:04] khsieh[?]: you try to squish

[13:04] khsieh[?]: and once the balloon is so squished then you pop it

[13:04] khsieh[?]: as in kill

[13:04] khsieh[?]: but

[13:04] saxmaam[?]: :)

[13:04] khsieh[?]: some times the balloon doesn't have a lot of air (space) so it can't be popped

Move 60

[13:05] khsieh[?]: F8 by opening you're base

[13:05] khsieh[?]: u caused problems here.

Move 98

[13:05] khsieh[?]: I was able to capture most of your group

Move 106

[13:05] saxmaam[?]: e8 instead?

Move 60

[13:06] khsieh[?]: e8 or e9

[13:06] khsieh[?]: e8 is a safer option

Move 69

[13:07] khsieh[?]: K8 is sometimes used as a bate to go one way

[13:07] khsieh[?]: and then go another

[13:07] khsieh[?]: as you can see

[13:07] khsieh[?]: i sacrafised k8

Move 73

[13:08] khsieh[?]: to go deeper into white teritory

[13:08] khsieh[?]: ifi hadn't sacrificed it

[13:08] khsieh[?]: then

Move 68 + 2

[13:08] khsieh[?]: i would be able to go in less

Move 193

[13:09] khsieh[?]: that's basically it

[13:09] khsieh[?]: the rest of the game

[13:09] khsieh[?]: you will learn with expeirience

[13:09] saxmaam[?]: Thank you so much. You are a good teacher.

[13:09] khsieh[?]: thanks

[13:09] khsieh[?]: we can play another time

[13:10] saxmaam[?]: I'd like that.

[13:10] saxmaam[?]: Have a good day then. I'll see you around :)
