March 30, 2014

[1:13] dfunkt[?]: this was your question?

[1:14] ochibi[?]: yeah

[1:14] dfunkt[?]: this start the taisha joseki

[1:14] ochibi[?]: taisha?

[1:14] dfunkt[?]: it is the most complicated joseki in go with thousands of variants

[1:14] ochibi[?]: wow.. okay haha

[1:14] dfunkt[?]: I avoided it with f17

[1:15] ochibi[?]: just thought it might be good to prevent w from getting the influence at the side

[1:15] ochibi[?]: icic :)

[1:15] dfunkt[?]: I can't even begin to show you the sequences because there are too many and it gets very complicated

[1:15] Migaki[?]: Hm...I apologize that I'm not as knowledge as you two, but I've heard of taisha only once before..

[1:16] ochibi[?]: ^sometimes its good to play out of the joseki xD

[1:16] Migaki[?]: RobertT was doing a review on it and they spent hours just reviewing what was 'taisha'

[1:16] ochibi[?]: migaki: i have never heard of taisha :X

[1:16] dfunkt[?]: the most complicated joseki are taisha, small avalanche, and large avalanche

[1:16] Migaki[?]: Wow..

[1:16] ochibi[?]: small? large?

Move 1 + 1

[1:17] dfunkt[?]: geez, It's been a while

[1:17] dfunkt[?]: I can'

[1:17] dfunkt[?]: t remember how it begins

[1:17] dfunkt[?]: can't

[1:17] ochibi[?]: its ok:)

Move 1 + 7

[1:17] ochibi[?]: i play go by instinct anyway >< so all these josekis...

Move 1 + 2

[1:18] dfunkt[?]: yeah

[1:18] dfunkt[?]: it's too early for you to learn joseki

[1:18] Migaki[?]: So, if I ay ask, there's obviously different kinds of josekis..taisha is just one..

[1:18] dfunkt[?]: except for basic ones

[1:18] Migaki[?]: *may

[1:18] Migaki[?]: ?

Move 1 + 8

[1:18] ochibi[?]: this i know

[1:18] ochibi[?]: haha

[1:18] dfunkt[?]: this is a joseki

[1:18] ochibi[?]: at the very least xD

[1:19] Migaki[?]: right

Move 1 + 9

[1:19] dfunkt[?]: that is another

[1:19] dfunkt[?]: there are also whole board joseki

Move 1 + 4

[1:19] ochibi[?]: too many

[1:20] ochibi[?]: haha

[1:20] dfunkt[?]: this is the low chinese opening

[1:20] Migaki[?]: ah, alright..I'll look into them simply because I'd like to just look over some

[1:20] dfunkt[?]: the followup for white is considered joseki too

[1:20] ochibi[?]: df u study joseki a lot?

[1:20] dfunkt[?]: no, but I did for a while

[1:21] ochibi[?]: icic

[1:21] dfunkt[?]: now I just try to learn to fight

[1:21] dfunkt[?]: :)

[1:21] ochibi[?]: im trying to... play more :)

[1:22] dfunkt[?]: my focus at my level is on group strength

Move 12

[1:22] dfunkt[?]: this was joseki

Move 15

[1:22] Migaki[?]: Mhhm

Move 18

[1:22] ochibi[?]: yeah saw it when i was searching for josekis

[1:23] dfunkt[?]: and here i am focusing on white's weak group

Move 23

[1:23] ochibi[?]: rather than d4 can u try e4?

Move 18

[1:23] dfunkt[?]: my direction of play comes from my weak group

[1:23] Migaki[?]: yep

[1:24] dfunkt[?]: both are playable but e4 is not severe

[1:24] dfunkt[?]: if I go in to reduce

Move 30

[1:24] ochibi[?]: i see

Move 14 + 1

[1:24] dfunkt[?]: I want to contact white ( in this case a diagonal contact) to get strong fast

Move 27

[1:24] ochibi[?]: then instead of e3

[1:25] ochibi[?]: how about a jump?

[1:25] ochibi[?]: into the center

Move 14 + 1

[1:25] dfunkt[?]: where?

Move 14 + 1

[1:25] dfunkt[?]: like this?

Move 26

[1:25] ochibi[?]: e7 maybe?

Move 14 + 5

[1:26] dfunkt[?]: now the marked stone is my target but it's also exactly where I want to play next

[1:26] dfunkt[?]: and my shape has a weak point

Move 14 + 8

[1:26] ochibi[?]: not looking good :X

[1:27] dfunkt[?]: so white can make me run

[1:27] dfunkt[?]: while white gets stronger

Move 18

[1:27] ochibi[?]: uhhuh

Move 14 + 10

[1:27] dfunkt[?]: and then white can take profit

[1:27] ochibi[?]: i was actually talking about

Move

: Control passed to ochibi

Move 35

[1:28] dfunkt[?]: you have control

Move 33

[1:28] ochibi[?]: oh ok

Move 26 + 1

[1:28] ochibi[?]: smt like this?

[1:28] dfunkt[?]: now white can push along the 3rd line

Move 26 + 2

[1:28] dfunkt[?]: and connect to k4

[1:28] ochibi[?]: icic

Move 28

[1:29] dfunkt[?]: but as we see in review my followup was wrong direction

[1:29] ochibi[?]: yeap

[1:29] ochibi[?]: should push towards the wall

[1:29] ochibi[?]: how do i pass back ctrl?

[1:29] dfunkt[?]: this is the essence of learning about strong and weak groups

[1:30] dfunkt[?]: the strength of groups determines the direction of play

[1:30] ochibi[?]: i would love to play a game with u next time! ^^

[1:30] ochibi[?]: with migaki too if possible!

[1:30] dfunkt[?]: well, we can do that

[1:30] ochibi[?]: not now too
