Go / Weiqi Endgame Lesson: B C10 Route Repair
1. B Q10 | W F3Main mistake: answering a pincer locally while the weak group still has no running lane
For this finish pattern: route repair finishing pattern, start from corner approach at Q10, pincer at K16, and cut point near N17, replay the first two entries, decide whether B C10 survives W K16, trace the final route, capture, promotion, territory, or hand-completion checkpoint, name the visible goal and stop at answering a pincer locally while the weak group still has no running lane, and then pick a related record that changes one study task without changing the game family.
1. B Q10 | W F3
Start with the notation and level shape, then use the diagram as a check on the same position.
1. B Q10 | W F3Black starts the finishing pattern from the lower-left corner; White takes the opposite corner instead of answering locally.
Beginner Go records show one local shape, name liberties, and ask whether the next move connects, cuts, or defends territory.
Find a side extension, a shortage of liberties, and a cut that changes the next fight; one visible plan and one tempting mistake; corner approach at Q10, pincer at K16, and cut point near N17; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the finishing pattern, then test the mistake before opening source references.

What this record looks like
For beginner readers, this territory strategy finish pattern: route repair fragment keeps the line short enough to replay aloud while still naming liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order. Board cue: corner approach at Q10, pincer at K16, and cut point near N17. 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 Q10 | W F3; 2. B C10 | W K16, which keeps the explanation tied to promotion, capture timing, territory closure, final route efficiency, or safe hand completion.
Position cue
a side extension, a shortage of liberties, and a cut that changes the next fight; one visible plan and one tempting mistake; corner approach at Q10, pincer at K16, and cut point near N17; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the finishing pattern
Unique asset
A self-authored SVG study diagram for this Go / Weiqi finishing pattern marks corner approach at Q10, pincer at K16, and cut point near N17. It is paired with Go board coordinates with Black/White turns beginning 1. B Q10 | W F3; 2. B C10 | W K16. The public reference image pub-go-blank-board 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 Q10 | W F3, 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 beginner 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 Q10 | W F3.
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 side extension, a shortage of liberties, and a cut that changes the next fight; one visible plan and one tempting mistake; corner approach.
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.
How to read this lesson
First replay: 1. B Q10 | W F3. Keep the line short enough to say aloud before judging whether the move is good.

Commentary
First reading pass for Go / Weiqi Finish Pattern: Route Repair: Use move one B Q10 | W F3; move two B C10 | W K16 as the anchor for this finishing pattern. The board detail to find first is corner approach at Q10, pincer at K16, and cut point near N17.
Decision note for Finish Pattern: Route Repair: compare B C10 with the tempting alternative and say what the opponent gains next.
Progress in this finishing pattern is measured one reply later. Here, W K16 checks whether the slower-looking choice was real.
Use the finish pattern: route repair cross-game comparison as a check, not as the lesson itself. This finishing pattern keeps liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order visible while the line is replayed.
By the end, point at W K16, explain the punishment in this finishing pattern, and choose whether the next record is easier or harder.

Use this page cue: a side extension, a shortage of liberties, and a cut that changes the next fight; one visible plan and one tempting mistake; corner approach at Q10, pincer at K16, and cut point near N17; 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 beginner lesson
Compare record length, annotation density, and the trained mistake: answering a pincer locally while the weak group still has no running lane. That is how this page explains what a beginner 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.

Public reference: The original study diagram is paired with Wikimedia Commons blank Go board, a public-library reference for a clean 19x19 board reference for coordinate and rule explanations; used as game-material context before the reader checks the article-specific study diagram. It is a source-traced reference image, not a substitute for the composed fragment or the page-specific cue corner approach at Q10, pincer at K16, and cut point near N17.
