Go / Weiqi Endgame Record: B K16 Shape Check
1. B F3 | W C10Main mistake: saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness
at the diagram, read the reply as evidence, before comparing sources, make a repair note for 1. B F3 | W C10; 2. B K16 | W N17: what rule is being tested, where W N17 changes the answer, how trace the final route, capture, promotion, territory, or hand-completion checkpoint, and which related same-game page should come next.
1. B F3 | W C10after the opening pair, write the task in plain words, 1. B F3 | W C10 is the first thing to quote; place it beside corner approach at F3, pincer at N17, and cut point near J10, then decide whether B K16 is useful or only busy. The beginner job is to name one safe plan and one rejected move before following the rest of the line. The page is useful only if that first inspection changes how this territory strategy finish pattern: shape check record is read.
when the mistake is tempting, keep the comparison same-game, the line becomes concrete at 3. B J10 | W G17. In this Go / Weiqi finishing pattern, the move turns liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order from background knowledge into the actual decision rule. Write this beside it: Black extends before cutting, so the weak group has a running lane.
On this page, keep the reply honest, read only the first 3 entries, cover the rest, and say why B K16 is safer than the tempting move. For finish pattern: shape check, the plan is not to memorize the line; it is to explain why W N17 changes the answer.

- 2Hold the boundary
for the next comparison, treat the source as later context, translate liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order into a question the reply must answer before the plan is accepted as more than activity.
- 3Test the reply
for the next comparison, treat the source as later context, explain the reply in one sentence: what did it prove about B K16, and why should the reader change plans?
- 4Pick the next comparison

The guard record task works on promotion, capture timing, territory closure, final route efficiency, or safe hand completion. Board cue: corner approach at F3, pincer at N17, and cut point near J10. Level job: the record note slows down at the first legal-choice moment so a new reader can connect the rule, the board cue, and the reason for the move. 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 F3 | W C10; move two B K16 | W N17; inspect B K16.

- Key decision
- for the next comparison, treat the source as later context, explain the reply in one sentence: what did it prove about B K16, and why should the reader change plans?
- Mistake diagnostic
- when the answer feels obvious, separate habit from proof, the simplest self-check is this. Check the rule cue before praising the move: liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order. In this Go / Weiqi finishing pattern, legality is not enough; the move also has to keep answering liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order.

What this record looks like
For the reader, tie the move to the board, the beginner shape here is not a full opening tree; it is a small finishing pattern record where corner approach at F3, pincer at N17, and cut point near J10 explains the first decision. Board cue: corner approach at F3, pincer at N17, and cut point near J10. 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 F3 | W C10; 2. B K16 | W N17, which keeps the explanation tied to promotion, capture timing, territory closure, final route efficiency, or safe hand completion.

Go / Weiqi rule check
Check this before the outside record: read 1. B F3 | W C10, 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. On this page the first line is 1. B F3 | W C10.
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; 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 saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness.
How to read this record note
First replay: 1. B F3 | W C10. Keep the line short enough to say aloud before judging whether the move is good.
Then inspect: The guard record task works on promotion, capture timing, territory closure, final route efficiency, or safe hand completion. Board cue: corner approach at F3, pincer at N17, and cut point near J10. Level job: the record note slows…

Black/White coordinate notation
Read the sample as a compact record note 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.

Commentary
First reading pass for Go / Weiqi Finish Pattern: Shape Check: Read the first exchange as a Go / Weiqi board-location test. The local cue is corner approach at F3, pincer at N17, and cut point near J10, not a memorized opening name.
Main habit for Finish Pattern: Shape Check: pause before B K16, count liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order, and then test W N17.
Mistake note for Finish Pattern: Shape Check: 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 finish pattern: shape check page, that rule set is liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order around B K16.
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.

- Position job and trained mistake: 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 F3, pincer at N17, and cut point near J10; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the finishing pattern / saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness.
- Image fit, source URL, license label, and whether the public image matches the same game family.
- 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.

u-go.net Game Records: Go / Weiqi Endgame finishing patterns + side extension shortage of liberties cut changes next fight visible + 1. B F3 | W C10 + saving corner territory by giving outside group too much thicknessOpen u-go.net Game RecordsStart with side extension shortage of liberties cut changes next fight visible. The goal is to find the same kind of board, tile, route, or threat problem before looking for an exact score.
Use the sample 1. B F3 | W C10 to compare notation form, move length, and record density against external material.
Keep this mistake visible while comparing: saving corner territory by giving outside group too much thickness. A useful outside record should make that decision easier to discuss.
Open u-go.net Game Records for real records or position context, but keep this record note separate from copied match scores and named-player claims.
Record exemplarCompare the record note with a real source type2 source-backed exemplars for this game family.
Compare the record note with a real source type
These exemplars explain what to compare in a real record index, rules source, or position reference before judging this annotated record note. They keep source lookup useful without copying outside records.
Look for a corner approach or local fighting SGF, then compare coordinates, liberties, sente/gote order, and the cut point.
Beginner: name liberties and connect-or-cut. Intermediate: compare candidate moves and the turning point. Advanced: hold a branch while checking direction and conversion.competition rules boundaryLiberty and Capture ExemplarUse liberty, capture, ko, and scoring vocabulary to check whether a compact SGF-like record note asks for a legal connection, cut, or defensive reply.
Beginner: count liberties and name the connection. Intermediate: compare cut, connect, and sente. Advanced: keep the local liberty race while checking direction and conversion.Classic position anchorsUse known record shapes before searching for exact scores2 anchors; compare without copying a real score.
Use known record shapes before searching for exact scores
These anchors name stable rule, opening, route, tile, or board-position shapes for this game family. They help readers compare this annotated record note with external material without copying a real score.
Use this anchor when a Go / Weiqi article compares a corner approach, side pressure, or local shape before whole-board judgment.
Compare corner point, approach side, reply shape, local liberties, and whether the outside example is about connection, cut, or territory direction.Weak group with a cut point and two-liberty raceLiberty Count and Cut AnchorUse this anchor when a page asks the reader to count liberties before cutting, connecting, or defending a weak group.
Compare local stone contact, liberty count, cut point, sente/gote direction, and whether the outside SGF shows the same tactical question.Curated reference packWhere to verify the record context2 game-specific references kept separate from the article line.
Where to verify the record context
These links give the reader a small, game-specific reference trail before using a real database, rule source, or public board reference. They support comparison; they are not copied into this article.
Use this when a Go / Weiqi record note depends on 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 path before opening external databases or classic-position references. The goal is comparison, not copying a real score into this article.
- 1Match the notation shape
Start with Black/White coordinate notation and the sample 1. B F3 | W C10. Compare outside records only for notation shape before judging move quality.
- 2Anchor the same kind of position
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 F3, pincer at N17, and cut point near J10; 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 record note
Compare record length, annotation density, and the trained mistake: saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness. That is how this page explains what a beginner record is for.

Public reference: before choosing another page, treat the source as later context, Wikimedia Commons Go board photograph is the public-library context image for this Go / Weiqi record page: it helps readers recognize a photographed Go board context image for record pages that compare board shape and coordinates; used as game-material context before the reader checks the article-specific record diagram. The public image helps readers identify materials before the article-specific diagram tests liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order. The article-specific self-authored diagram remains the exact record cue. This public-library context remains separate from the self-authored article-specific diagram.
