Go / Weiqi Advanced Rules: Corner Pressure Setup with B D4

First line1. B J10 | W G17

Main mistake: playing a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape

for the next comparison, make one local test, use this advanced territory strategy rule card as an encyclopedia checkpoint: write the setup in one sentence, name the win condition, test whether the first move is legal, then mark whose turn changes the answer. Only after that, replay 1. B J10 | W G17; 2. B D4 | W Q16 and explain why W Q16 exposes playing a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape.

Reader jobRules and setup

for the next comparison, make one local test, after this rule card: corner pressure record, add a margin note explaining why W Q16 matters before the next same-game record is opened. The next page should feel easier to choose because this one has narrowed the reading job.

  1. 1Anchor the notation

    as the rule cue appears, keep the reply honest, start with 1. B J10 | W G17 and draw a line to corner approach at J10, pincer at Q16, and cut point near C6; the notation should point to a board fact before it becomes advice.

  2. 2Hold the boundary

    as the rule cue appears, keep the reply honest, ask what the rule allows, what it forbids, and why the record line needs that distinction before any plan is praised.

  3. 3Test the reply

    as the rule cue appears, keep the reply honest, use the reply as a stress test. If playing a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape is still hidden, reread the board cue before moving on to the finish.

  4. 4Pick the next comparison

    as the rule cue appears, keep the reply honest, choose the next record by the thing still unclear: the rule cue, the reply timing, the visual cue, or the outside-source comparison.

The finish rule task covers setup, win condition, legal move, turn order, notation bridge, common rule trap, variant boundary, and record-reading bridge. Board cue: corner approach at J10, pincer at Q16, and cut point near C6. Rule frame: turn order before tempo, common rule trap before candidate move, and record-reading bridge before related record pages. Replay evidence: move one B J10 | W G17; move two B D4 | W Q16. Treat it as rule-card evidence, not a full match score.

What to look at

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 J10, pincer at Q16, and cut point near C6; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the rule card

Key decision
as the rule cue appears, keep the reply honest, use the reply as a stress test. If playing a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape is still hidden, reread the board cue before moving on to the finish.

A move places a stone on an empty intersection, then captures opposing chains with no liberties.

Trap to watchplaying a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape

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.

Common Mistake

Commentary

First reading pass for Go / Weiqi Rule Card: Corner Pressure: Read the first exchange as a Go / Weiqi board-location test. The local cue is corner approach at J10, pincer at Q16, and cut point near C6, not a memorized opening name.

Main habit for Rule Card: Corner Pressure: pause before B D4, count liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order, and then test W Q16.

Mistake note for Rule Card: 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 rule card: corner pressure page, that rule set is liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order around B D4.

The record note has done its job when the reader can describe playing a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape in their own words and replay the first two entries.

Record Questions

  • Which setup detail in corner approach at J10, pincer at Q16, and cut point near C6 has to be true before 1. B J10 | W G17; 2. B D4 | W Q16 can be read correctly?
  • What is the win condition, and which part of liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order stops B D4 from being judged only as activity?
  • Which legal-move or turn-order rule does W Q16 test in this rule card: corner pressure card?

A useful outside Go / Weiqi record should share the notation shape 1. B J10 | W G17, the same position job around weak side group running lane sente exchange may not be forcing forcing branch quiet move conversion, and the trained mistake playing forcing-looking peep checking connection shape.

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 J10 | W G17 is a record line

This page uses 1. B J10 | W G17 as a compact Go / Weiqi record line for weak side group running lane sente exchange may not be forcing forcing branch quiet move conversion. 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 playing forcing-looking peep checking connection shape. 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 J10 | W G17 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 weak side group running lane sente exchange may not be forcing forcing branch quiet move conversion. 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 J10 | W G17 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 J10 | W G17.
  • Position job and trained mistake: 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 J10, pincer at Q16, and cut point near C6; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the rule card / playing a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape.
  • 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.
