An excerpt from a book on go:
Rebel without a cause | |
Being a rebel (I sometimes park my car at the wrong side of the street) I would like to start off with black 1. It's not much of a move but from one thing you can be assured, your opponent will be surprised and suspect that you are either 1. Totally insane and do not know anything about go |
Good for Black | |
This is one of the few variations which is nice for black, unfortunately there are lots of sequences excellent for white. In this case white 7 is not the proper move. | |
Better for White | |
White should play white 7 at 1 in this diagram. This may look as a nice result for black but pros think white is thick and doing better here. |
[ad kan]
I have to say, though, that while I like parking on the wrong side of the street (as my parking-ticket history shows), I prefer more conservative game style. On the other hand, my wife says I like to get in fights (on the board). Maybe that happens only when I am playing with her?..
