Move 4

February 23, 2021

[20:47] vegetta8787[9k]: Variation: this is also slow

Move 7 + 1

[20:47] Brotaco[17k]: ohh

[20:48] vegetta8787[9k]: here it's better to follow me across G line

[20:48] vegetta8787[9k]: look at the potential space you gain, it's bigger tha mine

[20:48] vegetta8787[9k]: especially since I'm squeezed between your stones

Move 7 + 5

[20:48] Brotaco[17k]: yea

Move 7 + 9

[20:48] Brotaco[17k]: yes

[20:48] vegetta8787[9k]: Variation: white splits you in two, but not much territory gained

Move 23 + 1

[20:49] Brotaco[17k]: haha

[20:49] vegetta8787[9k]: Variation: 3

Move 23 + 7

[20:49] vegetta8787[9k]: Variation: 4

[20:49] Brotaco[17k]: what is the benefit of the knight

Move 4 + 6

[20:50] vegetta8787[9k]: Variation: 5

[20:50] Brotaco[17k]: oh ok

[20:50] vegetta8787[9k]: knight, one space extension near the wall, the yare uncuttable in the sense if opponent cuts they will usually die

Move 4 + 12

[20:51] Brotaco[17k]: is the one space extension jut to stones with a space in between

Move 4 + 15

[20:51] Brotaco[17k]: 2 stones

[20:51] vegetta8787[9k]: Variation: 6

Move 3 + 1

[20:51] vegetta8787[9k]: Variation: 7

[20:52] Brotaco[17k]: if you tried to cut I would go to e5 right?

[20:52] vegetta8787[9k]: usually one space extension is plaeyed when your stones are closer to the board, t

Move 3 + 3

[20:52] vegetta8787[9k]: usually it's better to defend on your strong side, or on the wall

Move 3 + 12

[20:52] Brotaco[17k]: ohhhh

[20:52] Brotaco[17k]: that makes sense

[20:52] vegetta8787[9k]: lol oops

Move 3 + 11

[20:53] Brotaco[17k]: yea

[20:53] vegetta8787[9k]: well towards the wall, it's very hard to cut or invade, think of the wall as your own stones

Move 6

[20:54] Brotaco[17k]: I see

Move 3

[20:54] Brotaco[17k]: what is a hane

Move 6 + 1

[20:54] vegetta8787[9k]: do you see comments?

[20:54] Brotaco[17k]: gotcha

Move 7 + 1

[20:55] vegetta8787[9k]: you see teh comments?

[20:55] Brotaco[17k]: yes

Move 11

[20:55] Brotaco[17k]: yea I read that the triangle is bad once

Move 21

[20:56] vegetta8787[9k]: well I'd say you have to work on not wasting moves

[20:56] vegetta8787[9k]: let me write all the moves I think are too slow

Move 16

[20:56] Brotaco[17k]: sweet, that would be great

Move 21 + 5

[20:57] vegetta8787[9k]: as you can see, either white played E1 and you play D1, F1 then defend

Move 21 + 11

[20:57] Brotaco[17k]: what is this move called at b4

Move 21 + 5

[20:57] vegetta8787[9k]: but even if white cuts and tries to get inside, it doesnt work

Move 21 + 11

[20:58] vegetta8787[9k]: this one?

[20:58] Brotaco[17k]: yea

[20:58] vegetta8787[9k]: this is a one space extension perhaps

Move 21 + 16

[20:58] Brotaco[17k]: haha

[20:58] vegetta8787[9k]: oops lol

Move 21 + 17

[20:59] vegetta8787[9k]: either way don't be afraid, even if white invades sucesfully he wont gain many points

[20:59] vegetta8787[9k]: and you will gain a wall that helps you get center

[21:00] Brotaco[17k]: yea

[21:00] vegetta8787[9k]: but if you get stronger, usually it shouldn't be possible to live with such a big wall of B on line E

Move 23 + 9

[21:01] vegetta8787[9k]: Variation: 8

Move 23 + 1

[21:01] Brotaco[17k]: can you quickly go over what is should do when I defend with knight

[21:01] vegetta8787[9k]: if not sure, this is safer, than wider moves

Move 23 + 14

[21:02] vegetta8787[9k]: Variation: 9

[21:02] vegetta8787[9k]: I am not sure how to defend this, but looks weak

[21:03] vegetta8787[9k]: maybe the good defense is to lose one stone but kill the group

Move 23 + 4

[21:03] Brotaco[17k]: oh ok

Move 23 + 20

[21:03] Brotaco[17k]: yea

[21:03] vegetta8787[9k]: idk how to defend this particular one, but usually that's how you defend at least first move

Move 23 + 14

[21:04] vegetta8787[9k]: Variation: 10

[21:04] Brotaco[17k]: it does

[21:04] vegetta8787[9k]: looks like W can live here, but mostly because of corner space at 3-3 I'd say

[21:05] Brotaco[17k]: ohh

[21:05] vegetta8787[9k]: but the point of knight move is to allow you to connect your stones

[21:05] vegetta8787[9k]: not necessarily to be impossible to be cut

Move 28

[21:05] Brotaco[17k]: of course yea

Move 30

[21:06] vegetta8787[9k]: when you attach to a stone like this, you're already at a fighting disadvatnage, cause the stone is already tehre

Move 41 + 5

[21:07] vegetta8787[9k]: when in doubt just count how many stones opponent needs to capture you,

Move 55 + 1

[21:09] vegetta8787[9k]: big moves like this, near the corner basically playing on second line at such a disadvantage it's very hard to live

[21:09] Brotaco[17k]: yea

[21:09] vegetta8787[9k]: I think to live on second line you need like 7 straight stones or something

Move 75 + 12

[21:11] vegetta8787[9k]: just not enough space to live on W even if you give a couple of free moves

Move 91

[21:11] Brotaco[17k]: yea

Move 90

[21:12] Brotaco[17k]: oh ok

[21:12] Brotaco[17k]: I thought id try

[21:12] vegetta8787[9k]: same reason as before, on second line, with so few space, especially on 13x13

[21:12] vegetta8787[9k]: it's good to try I guess

[21:12] Brotaco[17k]: if you try its net zero right?

[21:12] vegetta8787[9k]: if opponent plays less moves than you, you can give them a point

Move 105

[21:12] Brotaco[17k]: I see

Move 104

[21:12] vegetta8787[9k]: also if you play vs high level players, like 2k 1k, 1 dan etc, they can get upset lol

[21:13] vegetta8787[9k]: consider it rude cause they know from start htey can kill

[21:13] Brotaco[17k]: ahh

[21:13] Brotaco[17k]: gotcha

[21:13] vegetta8787[9k]: but at your level I guess it's alright, but you shuld know in future, you can't live there

Move 90 + 3

[21:13] Brotaco[17k]: ok

Move 90 + 3

[21:14] Brotaco[17k]: I have to go now but thank you so much for your help

[21:14] vegetta8787[9k]: at this point I don't even need to attach, I can play a distance one space extensions and can probably still kill

[21:14] vegetta8787[9k]: np, take care and have fun

[21:14] Brotaco[17k]: you to

[21:14] vegetta8787[9k]: if you have any questions in the future hit me up

[21:15] Brotaco[17k]: sure thing

[21:15] Brotaco[17k]: I sent friend rq
