Go / Weiqi Opening Record: B R14 Center Route

First line1. B Q16 | W C6

Main mistake: answering a pincer locally while the weak group still has no running lane

in the replay notebook, keep the comparison same-game, treat B R14 as the page's working move: map it to corner approach at Q16, pincer at K4, and cut point near Q10, use W K4 as the reply test, complete the opening plan job by asking how to separate the opening shape from the early habit that would overextend the position, and then pick a related record that changes one reading task without changing the game family.

Why the level mattersadvanced shape

At the first branch, name the visible demand, read for silence as much as forcing play: the quiet preparation matters only if it keeps corner approach at Q16, pincer at K4, and cut point near Q10 under control. For opening shape: center route, the plan is not to memorize the line; it is to explain why W K4 changes the answer.

Reader jobOpening and early-game plans

in the replay notebook, keep the comparison same-game, after this opening shape: center route record, pick the next article by the reading demand it changes, not by a broader game label. The next page should feel easier to choose because this one has narrowed the reading job.

  1. 1Find the cue

    under the position cue, let the diagram lead, start with 1. B Q16 | W C6 and draw a line to corner approach at Q16, pincer at K4, and cut point near Q10; the notation should point to a board fact before it becomes advice.

  2. 2Translate the rule

    under the position cue, let the diagram lead, before choosing a plan, say which part of liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order controls the position. That rule cue is the page's anchor.

  3. 3Make the answer local

    under the position cue, let the diagram lead, compare B R14 with W K4. The record is useful when the reply makes the tempting mistake visible: answering a pincer locally while the weak group still has no running lane.

  4. 4Choose the next record

    under the position cue, let the diagram lead, close the pass by naming the next same-game record that would make liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order easier to test in a new example.

Record goalOpening and early-game plans

The pincer record task works on first shapes, early routes, development order, and when an early threat is real. Board cue: corner approach at Q16, pincer at K4, and cut point near Q10. Level job: the record note treats the line like an annotated record file: name the long-term structure, test the forcing line, then explain the final conversion. In Go / Weiqi, practice this habit: read liberties, shape, and territory pressure before counting captures. The page keeps the record note narrow enough that the notation, cue, and mistake can be checked together. Replay evidence: the Go board coordinates with Black/White turns line begins move one B Q16 | W C6; move two B R14 | W K4; inspect B R14.

What this record looks like

When the mistake is tempting, check the rule before style, advanced readers should treat this Go / Weiqi opening shape: center route record as variation discipline: count liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order, test the visible threat, then explain why answering a pincer locally while the weak group still has no running lane fails. Board cue: corner approach at Q16, pincer at K4, and cut point near Q10. 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 Q16 | W C6; 2. B R14 | W K4, which keeps the explanation tied to first shapes, early routes, development order, and when an early threat is real.

Notation bridgeBlack/White coordinate notation

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. On this page the first line is 1. B Q16 | W C6.

Legal testa side extension, a shortage of liberties, and a cut that changes

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 record notes keep the rule claim narrow. For this page, apply it to a side extension, a shortage of liberties, and a cut that changes the next fight; a forcing branch, a quiet move, and a conversion.

Trap to watchanswering a pincer locally while the weak group still has no running lane

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 answering a pincer locally while the weak group still has no running lane.

Commentary

First reading pass for Go / Weiqi Opening Shape: Center Route: Use move one B Q16 | W C6; move two B R14 | W K4 as the anchor for this opening plan. The board detail to find first is corner approach at Q16, pincer at K4, and cut point near Q10.

Decision note for Opening Shape: Center Route: compare B R14 with the tempting alternative and say what the opponent gains next.

Real gain in this opening plan appears one reply later. Here, W K4 checks whether the slower-looking choice was real.

Use the opening shape: center route cross-game comparison as a check, not as the record itself. This opening plan keeps liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order visible while the line is replayed.

By the end, point at W K4, explain the punishment in this opening plan, and choose whether the next record is easier or harder.

What should match

A useful outside Go / Weiqi record should share the notation shape 1.

What stays separate

Keep outside scores, player names, event labels, table logs, SGF files, database notes, and source commentary separate from the article body.

What the source can proveu-go.net Game Records is the outside comparison point

u-go.net Game Records can prove that real Go / Weiqi records exist in a comparable notation or database format. Use it to compare B/W coordinates, liberties, connection shape, sente/gote timing, and local fighting purpose, record density, and level shape; it does not prove that this advanced record line is copied from that source.

What this record note is1. B Q16 | W C6 is a record line

This page uses 1. B Q16 | W C6 as a compact Go / Weiqi record line for side extension shortage of liberties cut changes next fight forcing branch quiet move conversion test corner. It explains a level-specific record shape and a mistake check; it is not presented as a copied score from u-go.net Game Records.

How to compareMatch record shape before names

Compare notation family, turn order, B/W coordinates, liberties, connection shape, sente/gote timing, and local fighting purpose, record level, and the mistake cue answering pincer locally weak group still has no running lane. A useful outside record may share the same problem without sharing every move.

What stays separateKeep source facts and article notes apart

Keep outside scores, player names, event labels, table logs, SGF files, database notes, and source commentary separate from the article body. Use u-go.net Game Records to check record reality, then return to the article's own annotation rather than mixing outside metadata into the article.

  1. Source
    Open the right kind of record source

    Start with u-go.net Game Records as a real record index. Decide whether the outside page is a real record index, rule document, position reference, table log, or SGF-style record before comparing moves.

  2. Line
    Match the first notation line

    Hold 1. B Q16 | W C6 beside the outside source. The first check is notation family, turn order, and record length, not whether the whole outside score is identical.

  3. Position
    Match the position terms

    Search by side extension shortage of liberties cut changes next fight forcing branch quiet move conversion test corner. The outside material helps only when it trains the same B/W coordinates, liberties, connection shape, sente/gote timing, and local fighting purpose.

  4. Level
    Match the record level

    Look for a dense Go / Weiqi record after 1. B Q16 | W C6 with a forcing branch, quiet preparation, and conversion test; compare branch discipline before borrowing any outside evaluation.

  5. Separate
    Keep the record line separate

    Treat this advanced record note as an original annotated record example, not a named game record or copied match score. Keep outside scores, player names, event labels, table logs, SGF files, database notes, and source commentary separate from the article body.

What to compare
  • Notation and turn order: 1. B Q16 | W C6.
  • Position job and trained mistake: a side extension, a shortage of liberties, and a cut that changes the next fight; a forcing branch, a quiet move, and a conversion test; corner approach at Q16, pincer at K4, and cut point near Q10; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the opening plan / answering a pincer locally while the weak group still has no running lane.
  • Image fit, source URL, license label, and whether the public image matches the same game family.
What stays outside
  • Outside scores, player metadata, event labels, table logs, SGF files, and database commentary stay outside the article body.
  • A public image is visual context, not proof that the composed move sequence happened in a real match.
  • A classic position anchor helps comparison; it is not a claim that this page reproduces that exact external record.
