KGS Plus lecture for 5/11/05
Guo Juan on the variations after W star point, B K's approach, W one-point pincer
First she examines a trick attachment and cross-cut. Must try that sometime.
Option 1.
B goes into 3-3 point,
** W blocks on the open side if he has a stone already, B makes 2 along, 2 down.
W's hane inwards is not strictly sente as B can extend from stone on second line.
B's hane outwards is very sente as W must defend, else B clamps and starts to threaten W's wall of 3.
** W blocks between, B makes the 3 and 1. Guo examines the variations of playing one point away from the 1 on the third line, and then B walking out. Both quiet nobi or interesting cut are possible.
24 minutes.

KGS Plus lecture for 30/10/05
Yilun Yang
Framework-oriented Chinese opening for B at the top, territory for W at the bottom.
* Stressed usefulness of 5pt extension - showed a comfortable invasion into a 6pt extension.
* See effects of white approach - 3rd line stone at top is territorial - developing a wall facing is inconsistent
* help the weaker stone; help the inside stone get out; OK to touch the weaker stone if it gets HEAVIER
* avalanche leading to two outcomes which work well or badly with two stones already played.
light - sabaki escape
* W reducing stone can't settle immediately - needs a handful of forcing moves - need to touch things - choose to touch strong things
* three touches then a fast jump - also examined the effect of B's cut
* when still not settled, a crosscut and sacrifice to get even more forcing moves.
* Pushing battle where consideration is who needs libetrties mopre to decide extend or hane.
* Long liberty battle at the bottom - always looking for ways to get more liberties

KGS plus lecture for 1/10/05
Listened to the Mingjiu Jiang lecture from Saturday last 1st October. Studied the close-in pincer to the approach to 4-4 - which direction to block and when it is OK to tenuki. I saw the wall-of-3 and two-knights moves pattern come up several times, also at the top when he used a knight's move approach to a 3-10 stone - much better than going on top when you don't want the opponent to walk through your moyo. Also looked at two knight's move approaches to the 4-4, when it is OK to go in to the 3-3 if you have outlying stones in both directions, and which direction to then cut - towards the one further out.

My wife and daughter are being rude about my blog. They think it's all a bit self-absorbed. I say let them get their own.
My daughter - id say if i was to get my own, it wouldnt be so boring, talking about your go rating, i mean noone actually knows what go is. Im afraid to say that i unfortuantely do, after being bullied and beaten into learning all about it, however i dont say this to my friends lest i get rejected.

Davey Shafik took a look at SDO and although he was not impressed, the discussion that followed was interesting. I talked a bit about what I had tried to do and not do with the Relational DAS.

You need something like this as the CVS Root value...

Note how you need an initial colon, unlike eclipse.
