Go / Weiqi Opening Record: B K4 Corner Pressure

First line1. B C6 | W R14

Main mistake: saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness

before choosing another page, make one local test, scan the record in three passes: first quote 1. B C6 | W R14; 2. B K4 | W Q10, then explain liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order, then use the capture checkpoint to separate the opening shape from the early habit that would overextend the position; only after that should the reader then open the closest same-game record note while the notation is still fresh.

beside the first line, start from a concrete mark, advanced readers should start by naming saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness; it tells them what to watch when B K4 appears. The advanced job is to hold the forcing move, quiet preparation, and conversion test in the same line. The page is useful only if that first inspection changes how this territory strategy opening shape: corner pressure record is read.

In this Go / Weiqi opening plan, this is where the record stops being a label and becomes a reply-by-reply comparison.

Why the level mattersadvanced shape

Before using a source, read the reply as evidence, read the whole branch once for forcing moves, a second time for quiet preparation, and a third time for the conversion check around B K4. For opening shape: corner pressure, the plan is not to memorize the line; it is to explain why W Q10 changes the answer.

Reader jobOpening and early-game plans

before choosing another page, make one local test, after this opening shape: corner pressure record, write one sentence naming 1. B C6 | W R14; 2. B K4 | W Q10, corner approach at C6, pincer at Q10, and cut point near F3, and saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness. The durable idea is that B K4 must survive W Q10 under liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order.

  1. 1Anchor the notation

    as the record narrows, keep the reply honest, read 1. B C6 | W R14; 2. B K4 | W Q10 aloud, then stop at the first place the diagram shows corner approach at C6, pincer at Q10, and cut point near F3 and write that cue in the margin.

  2. 2Hold the boundary

    as the record narrows, keep the reply honest, name liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order in plain language, then check whether B K4 still respects it after the reply arrives.

  3. 3Test the reply

    as the record narrows, keep the reply honest, compare B K4 with W Q10. The record is useful when the reply makes the tempting mistake visible: saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness.

  4. 4Pick the next comparison

    as the record narrows, keep the reply honest, after comparing 4. B K16 | W N17 with the finish at 10. B N17 end position, choose a same-game page that changes one reading demand while keeping the notation familiar. The next page should make liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order easier to test, not restart the reader with a different ruleset.

Record goalOpening and early-game plans

The finish record task works on first shapes, early routes, development order, and when an early threat is real. Board cue: corner approach at C6, pincer at Q10, and cut point near F3. 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 record value comes from replaying the short line and naming what the opponent is threatening. Replay evidence: the Go board coordinates with Black/White turns line begins move one B C6 | W R14; move two B K4 | W Q10; inspect B K4.

What to look at

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 C6, pincer at Q10, and cut point near F3; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the opening plan

Key decision
as the record narrows, keep the reply honest, compare B K4 with W Q10. The record is useful when the reply makes the tempting mistake visible: saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness.
Mistake diagnostic
inside this line, make the branch earn trust, the mistake check is practical. Ask whether the reply after B K4 gives the opponent a concrete gain. In this Go / Weiqi opening plan, legality is not enough; the move also has to keep answering liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order.

What this record looks like

As the level changes, watch for the unsafe shortcut, advanced readers should treat this Go / Weiqi opening shape: corner pressure record as variation discipline: count liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order, test the visible threat, then explain why saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness fails. Board cue: corner approach at C6, pincer at Q10, and cut point near F3. 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 C6 | W R14; 2. B K4 | W Q10, 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 C6 | W R14.

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 watchsaving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness

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 saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness.

Commentary

First reading pass for Go / Weiqi Opening Shape: Corner Pressure: Read the first exchange as a Go / Weiqi board-location test. The local cue is corner approach at C6, pincer at Q10, and cut point near F3, not a memorized opening name.

Main habit for Opening Shape: Corner Pressure: pause before B K4, count liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order, and then test W Q10.

Mistake note for Opening Shape: Corner Pressure: a forcing-looking cut can strengthen the opponent if the outside group has fewer liberties. The durable position test is liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order.

Cross-game intuition helps only after the local rule is named. For this Go / Weiqi opening shape: corner pressure page, that rule set is liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order around B K4.

The record note has done its job when the reader can describe saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness in their own words and replay the first two entries.

What should match

A useful outside Go / Weiqi record should share the notation shape 1. B C6 | W R14, the same position job around side extension shortage of liberties cut changes next fight forcing branch quiet move conversion test corner, and the trained mistake saving corner territory by giving outside group too much thickness.

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 C6 | W R14 is a record line

This page uses 1. B C6 | W R14 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 saving corner territory by giving outside group too much thickness. 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 C6 | W R14 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 C6 | W R14 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.

During the first pass, start from a concrete mark, for opening plan, 1. B C6 | W R14; 2.

Treat it as an advanced annotated-record example: an annotated record note, not a tournament score, built to slow down a dense branch. Use outside sources to compare notation and position type, not to rename this example as a copied game.

What to compare
  • Notation and turn order: 1. B C6 | W R14.
  • 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 C6, pincer at Q10, and cut point near F3; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the opening plan / saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness.
