| J-Group position ("Big Pig's Snout") |
Just started « Tsumego », french book from Motoki Noguchi. This is maybe my third attempt to get through the game and I’ve always lost my way in the middle of it. I think I wanted too much to get it right first time and crawled too much through the first problems. I aim at reading it in 10-12 days this time (representing about 50 pages a day).
I went through the first 100 pages and did enjoy it very much. One thing did strike me : it is the fact that some tesuji were clearly a blind spot for me in my reading. Those are mostly related to shortage of liberties which prevent the enclosure of an eye (such as in the J-group position, also known as the Big Pig’s Snout).
I’m looking forward to better identify such positions upfront so to be able to deal with those. The example from yesterday was symptomatic.
Aside from that, played a couple of game : a loss vs. 2k where I got a huge dragon killed (hard on the ego) and a win vs. 1k where I had to keep up after capturing myself a big group (probably harder on my opponent’s ego). Will take advantage of both to look at corner joseki situations I got into.
