Episode #80 High shimari attachment
Hi everybody. Hello.
Today we will have a look at a common position, where black has a big framework and white would like to invade this.
Attachment.
This is the tesuji!
Black can answer in several ways.
This or this or this.
And ehm, but what's the idea of this move Kim?
The idea is that it's a probing move!
So you want to probe your opponent and see what he does.
Sounds a bit dirty.
Sounds a little bit nasty.
Ok, but let's continue. Yes.
I'm sorry.
Now black is probed and he reacts like this. And now white is probing a little bit more and then escapes.
This is an escape and it's one of the sequences, let's see another one.
Ok.
[This move is also possible]
Atari. Atari. Capture. Capture. And again jump! jump. Wow! One of the variations. One of the variations..next one. Next.
This is another powerful probing answer. Powerful. Later..
wow! What is this?
This is again a probe. White keeps probing.
So what happens if black simply captures?
Then atari atari atari.
Atari atari. No! Now out, oh and the ladder is good. Ladderrrr
Bam! White succeeds. [SUCCEEDS]
So, instead of this move..yes..black connects
BLACK CONNECT
BUT..potential aji later. There is a lot of aji and this one if very good. NICE!
So, this is good move. POWERFUL. But, later..
later..
This and this and this.
POTENTIAL AJI. White can also play here, it depends on eh..DEPENDS ON..tak..
[the difficult fight]
♪ This is a difficult fight yeahhh ♪
Instead of playing this move, black can also play this POWERFUL descent.
Powerful descent.
Looks quite tough for white.
But, white can actually kind of make a living group in the corner.
Oh..we can expect this hane.
And this descent is also powerful by white and it makes a KO!
This is a very common formation.
Very common.
And a very famous group.
Very common.
And this starts a ko.
So black can always start a ko here but there still is a lot of aji, for example white can cut at [A].
And also it is a success that white can make this ko in the corner.
So this move stresses the outside but white can quite easily live inside. White can make a ko.
Let's look at another position..This is an attachment.
Yeah that's right.
What happens after this eh..ATTACHMENT?
I think the difference from this position is that the stones of white are a bit closer now.
Yes.
But also black looks more solid with this keima.
Very solid, but white is also solid on the outside.
So what happens when black again plays this move?
Well, we get some probing.
Probing again. Probing again!
So, this is what white wants. Yes.
White is happy like this, he gets some free moves on the outside.
And gets stronger on the outside.
Yes.
Instead black can extend here and..this is better for black. This is very powerful and also leads to a very surprising move I think.
So this is normal..yeah it's one of the diagrams, next one.
Yeah, white ends in gote, right? And here in sente..
So..oh yes!..white is a bit less happy with this variation.
That's true, yes.
Instead of playing here white can also try to live in the corner.
It looks painful, but black has a nice tesuji and that is this [throw-in].
Wow! Yeah..what is this move?
I've never seen this, but it is GREAT.
I will remember it for the rest of my life.
Now black forces white to live and black is satisfied with it.
Black can jump VERY FAR now because of the T6 move.
Right! When you descend here, this is also sente for black.
So white needs to live. Black can also force white to live.
But now black can only jump 'till here.
And when black sacrifices this stone, black can jump further.
Yes.
To destroy white's position.
Like this. Yeah, and this also means that there is more aji. So this jump further is just to show that it is easier for black to go underneath and that the base of white is weaker.
WEAKER! WEAKER.
So remember this throw-in. I liked it a lot. WOW! WOW!
How about just connecting here? That is very bad, you die. Oh..
Right.
This is not good for white. No, this would not be a good idea. Ok.
So let's go back.
Yes.
♪ Let's go back to where we started. Let's go back to this attachment yeahhh ♪
We've seen this one right? Yes. What about this one? Oh that looks eh...THAT LOOKS GREAT.
But there is aji! Aji.
This aji is actually quite nasty.
♪ aji in the corner ♪
It looks like black is very solid but black is not solid black is DEAD.
Hahaha WHAT? What are you talking about?
No, I'm sorry, black is not dead.
But..black has this forcing move.
Black kills now with this jump!
Black kills with JUMP. And now aji. Ajiii! Aji aji aji aji aji YOAYOAYOAYOAYOA.
So this is not that great because there is aji. What about THIS move by black?
This is great because there is no aji. ♪ no aji left ♪
Oh..white can make life. So actually there is a LOT of aji. Ok, so not good.
Not good. How about this? WOOOW. I've never seen this in my life. Ugly shape eh? Ugly shape!
But this is actually QUITE NICE for black!
Yea but still..aji! Aji.
White can make a ko at least! White can cut here.
And THIS IS GREAT!
Hahahaha. Peter found this move! It's amazing! When you connect you CUT!!! Hahahahaha
Hahahaha
HAhahahahaha
No...but yeah...let's see some more!
Ehm black can also play here...
Right. What is this? Ehm, I don't know..white extends here.
This is what black wants. Right. This is very bad for white.
Very bad.
Black makes a beautiful shape.
But white can cut. But black can manage it!
It's a very difficult fight but...black can manage it!
Yeah. White will probably die. So..eh..this is not so good for white? Not SO good..but..white can FORCE this.
Aji. Aji. On the outside. Sacrifice it.
And this is very big in endgame.
White can play in this way. But white ends in gote.
White ends in gote. But, but...in endgame when black plays tenuki..
This is big for white. And this is eh.. how would you answer? This or this?
Eh..this!
Yes.
This is actually best. Oh, thank you.
And eh..this is actually not so good. Looks very clever but it's very NOT clever.
Because white can sacrifice here. Oh..! Tesuji!
Yeah. There's a ko here..but..white is happy
White is happy.
Black will not do this. So black will play this. And white destroys the corner.
IN SENTE! Right. So Capture it like this. Capture it.
How about this move? This move you see a lot in progames, it's also POSSIBLE.
Looks like a pro move right? Looks very GOOD. Keima.
Keima and just give everything away. But it's ok. Like this it eh..depends on the situation.
Luckily white's stone is nearby. Now the marked stone HELPS A LOT.
We hope this helped you in the ATTACHMENT. And in go. ♪ Thanks for watching and see you next time ♪
