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.
