Go / Weiqi Endgame Lesson: B Q10 Final Tempo
1. B R14 | W K4Main mistake: capturing one stone while the larger side framework becomes weak
Treat B Q10 as the page's working move: map it to corner approach at R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10, use W F3 as the reply test, complete the finishing pattern job by asking how to trace the final route, capture, promotion, territory, or hand-completion checkpoint, and then compare the neighboring level while the notation is still familiar.

Start with the notation and level shape, then use the diagram as a check on the same position.

What this record looks like
This advanced Go / Weiqi finishing pattern is a 10-entry study file: the forcing branch starts at B Q10, but the evaluation depends on the quiet conversion after W F3. Board cue: corner approach at R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10. Rule check: liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order. The notation uses Go board coordinates with Black/White turns. The first two entries are 1. B R14 | W K4; 2. B Q10 | W F3, which keeps the explanation tied to promotion, capture timing, territory closure, final route efficiency, or safe hand completion.

Unique asset
A self-authored SVG study diagram for this Go / Weiqi finishing pattern marks corner approach at R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10. It is paired with Go board coordinates with Black/White turns beginning 1. B R14 | W K4; 2. B Q10 | W F3. The public reference image pub-go-adjacent-stones gives readers an open-gallery board or piece reference for the same game family.
Go / Weiqi rule check
Check this before the outside record: read 1. B R14 | W K4, name the rule source, test the position cue, and keep the mistake visible.
Open American Go AssociationAmerican Go Association is the rule source to open first; use it for legal vocabulary before comparing this advanced record.
The B/W coordinate line is a reading aid: it anchors color, board point, and sequence. It should be read with liberties and connection before judging whether a move is a tactic or only a local shape note. In this lesson the first line is 1. B R14 | W K4.
A move places a stone on an empty intersection, then captures opposing chains with no liberties. Suicide, ko, and scoring details depend on the ruleset, so local lessons keep the rule claim narrow. For this page, apply it to a weak side group, a running lane, and a sente exchange that may not be forcing; a forcing branch, a quiet move, and a.
The common trap is cutting or capturing before counting liberties. A move that looks forcing in a diagram may fail because the outside group has too few liberties or because the reply takes sente elsewhere. Here the reader's mistake check is capturing one stone while the larger side framework becomes weak.

Commentary
First reading pass for Go / Weiqi Finish Pattern: Final Tempo: Start with one inspection job: locate B Q10. Then explain why W F3 is the reply test.
This Go / Weiqi finish pattern: final tempo note rewards the player who names the threat before moving. For finish pattern: final tempo, B Q10 only makes sense after corner approach at R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10 is counted.
Go / Weiqi finish pattern: final tempo can punish a move that only looks energetic. In this finish pattern: final tempo fragment, a forcing-looking cut can strengthen the opponent if the outside group has fewer liberties, so the annotation stays attached to liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order.
Transfer note for Go / Weiqi Finish Pattern: Final Tempo: Go / Weiqi is deeper than most race games because every local exchange also changes the whole-board map. For this finish pattern: final tempo page, name liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order before adding a broad strategy label.
Choose the next related record only after naming corner approach at R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10, capturing one stone while the larger side framework becomes weak, and the rule that made the reply work.

These links give the reader a small, game-specific reference trail before using a real database, rule source, or public board reference. They support comparison; they are not copied into this lesson.
Use this when a Go / Weiqi lesson teaches a corner approach, weak group, cut point, sente choice, or liberty count and the reader wants real SGF context.
Compare coordinate shape, corner side, local liberty count, and whether the outside record trains connection, cut, defense, or territory direction.rules and positionGo Rule and Scoring NoteUse this for liberties, capture, territory, scoring vocabulary, and beginner-friendly rule checks before reading a composed record fragment.
Compare the rule term first, then compare whether the article's local shape asks for a connection, cut, or defensive move.Comparison pathHow to compare this fragment with external records4 lookup steps; compare, do not copy a real score.
How to compare this fragment with external records
Use this as a reading route before opening external databases or classic-position references. The goal is comparison, not copying a real score into this lesson.
- 1Match the notation shape
Start with Black/White coordinate notation and the sample 1. B R14 | W K4. Compare outside records only for notation shape before judging move quality.
- 2Anchor the same kind of position
Use this page cue: a weak side group, a running lane, and a sente exchange that may not be forcing; a forcing branch, a quiet move, and a conversion test; corner approach at R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the finishing pattern Look for a similar board, tile, route, or threat problem, not an identical copied position.
- 3Read it as a advanced lesson
Compare record length, annotation density, and the trained mistake: capturing one stone while the larger side framework becomes weak. That is how this page explains what a advanced record is for.
- 4Keep lesson and outside record separate
Use u-go.net Game Records for real record lookup. This page remains a composed teaching fragment and is not a copied tournament score or named-player record.
Reference layerRules checked separately from the teaching fragment1 rule source link for notation and boundary checks.

These links support rule vocabulary, notation boundaries, and game-family context. They do not turn this composed study fragment into a tournament score or named-player record.

Public reference: This Go / Weiqi page uses Wikimedia Commons adjacent Go stones diagram as a public-library reference because it shows adjacent black and white stones, matching liberty, connection, and capture-shape explanations; used as game-material context before the reader checks the article-specific study diagram. The fit is contextual rather than exact: readers use it to recognize the game materials, then read the actual position from the study diagram. Source: Wikimedia Commons adjacent Go stones diagram.
