    i think main thing of this game is scale and patience. white is too hurry. like „open board? who cares! i want some terrirory right now!“ bang — S14. second line. black takes huge corner (no more aji after calm S15) and white get some shape opened for R9 (and black’s hane-on-the-head-of-two Q14 can ruin this shape anytime). but who cares! 🙂 bang — C14! bang — C17! bang — F16! (tryin‘ to cut two strong groups by one kamikaze?) bang — N17! (tryin‘ to destroy biggest and strongest black area by another kamikaze?)… and game is done.

    dead-bodies-everywhere-style can be fun, but it’s hard way of playing Go. opponent can just defend here, defend there… gaining some points, some walls and waiting till your shapes fall apart somewhere. if he have enough patience 🙂

    @Evgeny She
    It was very funny to read your comment, thanks for pointing out! I think you are right i play often very careless. Maybe it is time to change that now :-)Thanks again … greetings! Amon

    I would agree that the one space high jump is a better response with the sanrensei formation.

    W34: I agree with you in that I don’t think Black can kill. Should be a live shape.

    Definitely an exciting game. Nice job killing black and owning the entire center. =)
