The Go Connection http://thegoconnection.com Still a work in progress :) Sat, 19 Jan 2013 02:37:54 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5 Happy Thanksgiving – new article! http://thegoconnection.com/2011/11/22/happy-thanksgiving-new-article/ http://thegoconnection.com/2011/11/22/happy-thanksgiving-new-article/#comments Tue, 22 Nov 2011 16:42:52 +0000 lepinskie http://thegoconnection.com/?p=366 Hi friends! I just completed a third article. In this one, I outlined a series of questions we will investigate with regards to the topic of forcing moves. Hopefully now the theme between articles will start to be a little more cohesive from one to the next.

Check it out here !

Just wanted to let you know there’s another small article up for your viewing pleasure. This time we’re taking a brief look at forced play in the opening from a 2k-3k game. Check it out here!

It aims to investigate various subtleties and nuances between forcing (kikashi), peeping (nozoki), and probing (youmi) plays. Be the first to check it out, here !

By investigating the early stages of a game between 3-4 kyu players, Lepinskie has tried to draw out some basic principles about forced plays. Please stay tuned for more interesting updates from theGoConnection!

The kibitz is included for context (though abridged a bit and sans names). A tip: variation numbers in the top right of the eidego viewer are helpful for navigating branches.

The topic is two space extensions, illustrated with eleven professional fuseki examples ranging from Go Seigen, past Kobayashi Koiichi to Chang Hao, and that’s without romanising any Korean names.

Also shows some common early-fuseki contexts for the distant low approach, which I’m sure you’ll get the chance to try yourself!

You can check it out here or in our Study Stuffs section stage left.

Practise.
