imp NR : k16:) imp NR : hi malf:) jansteen 3d*: l16 is old-fashion according to Michael Redmond :) jansteen 3d*: Hi malf imp NR : flippo here:) jansteen 3d*: k16 is possible, but also lacks some modern severity imp NR : also here imp NR : hi:) imp NR : m16 ever played? jansteen 3d*: m16 is possible (I've seen it before) jansteen 3d*: White will probably jump, and next slide twice imp NR : also old-fashioned tsuke-nobi possible of course (o16) jansteen 3d*: If you like to play o16 direction then p15 is modern :) imp NR : oh yea:) jansteen 3d*: q14 is boring (sorry malf :) imp NR : finally, o15 exists:) jansteen 3d*: Yah, o15 possible, but... jansteen 3d*: The top is also valuable... jansteen 3d*: So, what then?! jansteen 3d*: Combine top and aspiration to build moyo imp NR : n16? jansteen 3d*: n16 is possible, sure jansteen 3d*: Yes, PURPLE (and flippo), that's the move ] ;B[lc]C[ jansteen 3d*: Maybe someone mentioned it before but I'm working on an old-fashion monitor tonight jansteen 3d*: I don't see a thing here :) imp NR : :) jansteen 3d*: so I might miss a few comments of you imp NR : a stamp:) ] ;W[qc] ;B[qd] ;W[pc] ;B[od] ;W[rc] ;B[nd] ;W[nb] ;B[le]C[ jansteen 3d*: Next move (idea?) jansteen 3d*: Hi HP zli 8k*: o3 imp NR : o3 (flippo) jansteen 3d*: flippo: what's more valuable: left or right side of q4? imp NR : richt side jansteen 3d*: Right imp NR : :) jansteen 3d*: So what to play? imp NR : r6:) jansteen 3d*: HP got it ] ;W[qn] ;B[qo] ;W[pn] ;B[np] ;W[ql]C[ jansteen 3d*: Next move is new to me jansteen 3d*: What's the usual idea here? imp NR : r10 (flippo) ? jansteen 3d*: Yes, r9, r10 or s9 jansteen 3d*: However, look at the s17 stone.... zli 8k*: s10 jansteen 3d*: Black open in upper right, so r9 et cetera only worth half the value imp NR : o16 a move? imp NR : o6, sorry jansteen 3d*: So, black invites white to slide to s10 making this stone and s17 overlap their function imp NR : i like p9:) jansteen 3d*: And then we notice that HP again got it :) ] ;B[ok]C[ imp NR : will be back to 3d* soon:) ] ;W[rj]C[ jansteen 3d*: But then the next move is completely contrary to the little story we just made up... ] ;B[ri]C[ imp NR : well, b does not mind w r11 now:) jansteen 3d*: That's right imp jansteen 3d*: That's probably the idea here ] ;W[qj] ;B[qi]C[ jansteen 3d*: Right malf, but think again jansteen 3d*: The next move is discussed in the excellent book: "the fundamentals of Go" imp NR : o17 less ambitios, but maybe cut now overplay imp NR : o7 sorry jansteen 3d*: O7 looks similar to o6 imp NR : may i look it up? :)) jansteen 3d*: sure :) jansteen 3d*: Look in chapter defense (i think) imp NR : which page? :) jansteen 3d*: n7 wild :) jansteen 3d*: I don't know the page, just remember the shape jansteen 3d*: n7 looks not like the move, it's too thin jansteen 3d*: Sure malf, running is the correct idea here imp NR : o8 then jansteen 3d*: Just the shape now jansteen 3d*: Yes, o8! ] ;W[nl]C[ imp NR : thx HP:) imp NR : :) ] ;B[ol] ;W[om] ;B[ro]C[ jansteen 3d*: Black weakens white's group while defending against r3 ] ;W[pi] ;B[oi] ;W[ph]C[ jansteen 3d*: These white cutting stones give white aji in this area ] ;B[qg] ;W[pg] ;B[qf] ;W[mj] ;B[oh] ;W[mm]C[ jansteen 3d*: So black got the corner and white managed to flatten b's top center somewhat jansteen 3d*: Next move? jansteen 3d*: I think this result is about even jansteen 3d*: Left side is valuable, but a move there has one meaning jansteen 3d*: Black played another valuable move with *two* meanings jansteen 3d*: For black it's hard to build territory at the top because of m18 weakness jansteen 3d*: Yes levner, m6 is the right spirit imp NR : m8 to attack? ] ;B[lp]C[ imp NR : preparation? jansteen 3d*: Nothing spectacular, but strengthening the bottom while weakening white's center group jansteen 3d*: right imp jansteen 3d*: Of course now white plays...? imp NR : k4? c24 4k*: well imp NR : is g3 too much of an overplay? jansteen 3d*: If white would defend the center group he would fall behind in territory when black would play c10 imp NR : oh, on left side of course:) jansteen 3d*: g3 is dangerous with the other weak group in the center jansteen 3d*: right imp jansteen 3d*: Which point ? imp NR : d9 or c10 jansteen 3d*: in between :) ] ;W[ck]C[ imp NR : oh no:( imp NR : typo? imp NR : :) ] ;B[cq] ;W[bq] ;B[bp] ;W[cr] ;B[dq] ;W[bo] ;B[do]C[ imp NR : some deep meaning no doubt ] ;W[co] ;B[br] ;W[ap]C[ jansteen 3d*: Now black defended *in sente* the g3 weakness and can go ahead elsewhere, where? :) jansteen 3d*: Very good HP! imp NR : attack the center group that w failed to defend:) ] ;B[df]C[ imp NR : wow HP:) ] ;W[de]C[ imp NR : i though m8 again:( ] ;B[ef] ;W[ee] ;B[ff] ;W[gd]C[ jansteen 3d*: Next move? imp NR : d7 an idea? jansteen 3d*: d10 seems general concensus jansteen 3d*: It's the right direction iplr 17k : e9? jansteen 3d*: But let me ask: if white to move here, where would he play? imp NR : e9 nicer? jansteen 3d*: c12 and let black split with c14, no imp NR : but c14 so slow now... jansteen 3d*: Yes, c14 is one way, but not suji jansteen 3d*: Right tiger, that's normal follow-up imp NR : h15 direction? jansteen 3d*: White would b13 and make black's stones float jansteen 3d*: So what's black's move here? ] ;B[cf]C[ jansteen 3d*: Very big this move jansteen 3d*: This move is better than b13 imp NR : big but slow:) jansteen 3d*: b13 would allow sente moves for white like d12 ] ;W[eo]C[ jansteen 3d*: This move is white's priviledge ] ;B[gp] ;W[ch]C[ jansteen 3d*: And of course white prevents black c11 ] ;B[dh] ;W[di] ;B[eh]C[ imp NR : not e11? imp NR : isn't that normal here? jansteen 3d*: Black doesn't want to lose b12 imp imp NR : ah, b not really weak yes jansteen 3d*: So white doesn't see a way to continue the attack here jansteen 3d*: Then taking territory seems wise :) jansteen 3d*: Where? fezzic 8k : top middle? zli 8k*: g6 ] ;W[jc]C[ jansteen 3d*: This move sets up a large m18 move imp NR : good russell:) ] ;B[ei] ;W[oo] ;B[op] ;W[jo] ;B[kp] ;W[ci]C[ jansteen 3d*: Now we nearly reached the endgame phase ] ;B[mh] ;W[hp] ;B[hq] ;W[fp] ;B[gq] ;W[ie] ;B[ek] ;W[ln]C[ cafard NR : hi all ] ;B[ar]C[ cafard NR : i cannot see the board :( imp NR : hi cafard:) cafard NR : dunno why jansteen 3d*: Hi cafard imp NR : same problem as jan:) cafard NR : hi cafard NR : i ob and unob but nothing appears ] ;W[hj]C[ jansteen 3d*: Nice move this jansteen 3d*: Sets up f10 peep and aims at some territory in the center ] ;B[dl] ;W[cl] ;B[hh] ;W[ih] ;B[hi] ;W[ii] ;B[gj]C[ cafard NR : finally i succeed ] ;W[gk] ;B[hk] ;W[ij] ;B[gl] ;W[gi]C[ imp NR : well, welcome:) ] ;B[fk] ;W[fj] ;B[gk] ;W[gh] ;B[fe] ;W[fd] ;B[kb]C[ jansteen 3d*: Now real endgame started since all groups are settled jansteen 3d*: Very good tiger, you noticed! jansteen 3d*: White could have played better here by playing f10 peep jansteen 3d*: before playing j12 imp NR : strange that b never made an attack on the w o8 group... jansteen 3d*: In that case black can not get out to the bottom and has to go along the top middle jansteen 3d*: That would give white more territory in the center ] ;W[hg] ;B[dj] ;W[jb] ;B[cj] ;W[bj] ;B[cm] ;W[bk] ;B[dm] ;W[bm] ;B[be] ;W[bd] ;B[bg] ;W[ae] ;B[cg] ;W[lh] ;B[lg] ;W[mg] ;B[ng] ;W[mi] ;B[mf] ;W[bi] ;B[ik] ;W[jk] ;B[jl] ;W[kl] ;B[jm] ;W[rd] ;B[re] ;W[hm] ;B[fn]C[ jansteen 3d*: What's the score?
