Go / Weiqi Opening Lesson: B G17 Timing Choice
1. B N17 | W J10Main mistake: capturing one stone while the larger side framework becomes weak
Treat B G17 as the page's working move: map it to corner approach at N17, pincer at D4, and cut point near Q16, use W D4 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 study task without changing the game family.
1. B N17 | W J10
Start with the notation and level shape, then use the diagram as a check on the same position.
1. B N17 | W J10Black starts the opening plan from the lower-left corner; White takes the opposite corner instead of answering locally.
For mixed-level readers, the record is intentionally short: it gives a reusable checkpoint around B G17 before the reader opens a level-specific lesson. Board cue: corner approach at N17, pincer at D4, and cut point near Q16. 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 N17 | W J10; 2. B G17 | W D4, which keeps the explanation tied to first shapes, early routes, development order, and when an early threat is real.
Find a peep-looking move, a connection shape, and a whole-board pressure shift; one rule cue, one notation line, and one comparison path; corner approach at N17, pincer at D4, and cut point near Q16; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the opening plan, then test the mistake before opening source references.

What this record looks like
For mixed-level readers, the record is intentionally short: it gives a reusable checkpoint around B G17 before the reader opens a level-specific lesson. Board cue: corner approach at N17, pincer at D4, and cut point near Q16. 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 N17 | W J10; 2. B G17 | W D4, which keeps the explanation tied to first shapes, early routes, development order, and when an early threat is real.
Position cue
a peep-looking move, a connection shape, and a whole-board pressure shift; one rule cue, one notation line, and one comparison path; corner approach at N17, pincer at D4, and cut point near Q16; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the opening plan
Unique asset
A self-authored SVG study diagram for this Go / Weiqi opening plan marks corner approach at N17, pincer at D4, and cut point near Q16. It is paired with Go board coordinates with Black/White turns beginning 1. B N17 | W J10; 2. B G17 | W D4. The public reference image pub-go-goban-photo 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 N17 | W J10, 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 reference note.
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 N17 | W J10.
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 peep-looking move, a connection shape, and a whole-board pressure shift; one rule cue, one notation line, and one comparison path; corner approach at.
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.

Read the sample as a compact study fragment for coordinates and shape, not as an official SGF from a named match.
1. B C6 | W R14Beginner Go records show one local shape, name liberties, and ask whether the next move connects, cuts, or defends territory.
Intermediate records introduce candidate moves and a turning point where sente, liberties, or shape efficiency changes.
Advanced records ask the reader to hold a local branch while checking whole-board direction and final conversion.

Common Mistake
Mistake to test: capturing one stone while the larger side framework becomes weak. Replay 1. B N17 | W J10 against a peep-looking move, a connection shape, and a whole-board pressure shift; one rule cue, one notation line, and, then name the rule or reply that prevents it.

Commentary
First reading pass for Go / Weiqi Opening Shape: Timing Choice: Use move one B N17 | W J10; move two B G17 | W D4 as the anchor for this opening plan. The board detail to find first is corner approach at N17, pincer at D4, and cut point near Q16.
Decision note for Opening Shape: Timing Choice: compare B G17 with the tempting alternative and say what the opponent gains next.
Progress in this opening plan is measured one reply later. Here, W D4 checks whether the slower-looking choice was real.
Use the opening shape: timing choice cross-game comparison as a check, not as the lesson itself. This opening plan keeps liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order visible while the line is replayed.
By the end, point at W D4, explain the punishment in this opening plan, and choose whether the next record is easier or harder.

- What would change in this opening shape: timing choice record if the reply W D4 arrived one move earlier?
- In the opening shape: timing choice position, which candidate around B G17 is tempting, and what part of liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order makes W D4 punish it?

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 N17 | W J10. Compare outside records only for notation shape before judging move quality.
- 2Anchor the same kind of position
Use this page cue: a peep-looking move, a connection shape, and a whole-board pressure shift; one rule cue, one notation line, and one comparison path; corner approach at N17, pincer at D4, and cut point near Q16; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the opening plan Look for a similar board, tile, route, or threat problem, not an identical copied position.
- 3Read it as a reference 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 reference 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.
Rules checked separately from the teaching fragment
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.
