for the next comparison, tie the move to the board, replay 1. B K4 | W Q10; 2. B F3 | W C10, locate corner approach at K4, pincer at C10, and cut point near K16, say the first plan aloud, then mark the exact reply that proves the unsafe choice, name the visible goal and stop at saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness, and then use the source shortcut only after the local rule cue is clear.

Reader jobBeginner record note

for the next comparison, tie the move to the board, after this first plan: safe reply record, write one sentence naming 1. B K4 | W Q10; 2. B F3 | W C10, corner approach at K4, pincer at C10, and cut point near K16, and saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness. The reader should remember the relationship between corner approach at K4, pincer at C10, and cut point near K16 and liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order, not just the move name.

  1. 1Locate the line

    as the rule cue appears, write the task in plain words, start with 1. B K4 | W Q10 and draw a line to corner approach at K4, pincer at C10, and cut point near K16; the notation should point to a board fact before it becomes advice.

  2. 2Set the rule test

    as the rule cue appears, write the task in plain words, ask what the rule allows, what it forbids, and why the record line needs that distinction before any plan is praised.

  3. 3Find the wrong instinct

    as the rule cue appears, write the task in plain words, use the reply as a stress test. If saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness is still hidden, reread the board cue before moving on to the finish.

  4. 4Carry the cue forward

    as the rule cue appears, write the task in plain words, use 4. B J10 | W G17 and 6. B C6 | W R14 as the before-and-after pair, then open a same-game page that changes the level or topic but keeps the notation familiar.

Record goalBeginner record note

The entry record task works on visible goals, obvious mistakes, and a record line that can be replayed without a live board. Board cue: corner approach at K4, pincer at C10, and cut point near K16. 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 useful test is whether the reader can connect the rule name to the move choice. Replay evidence: the Go board coordinates with Black/White turns line begins move one B K4 | W Q10; move two B F3 | W C10; inspect B F3.

What this record looks like

After the opening pair, turn notation into a question, this beginner Go / Weiqi short beginner record is a 6-entry line: B F3 appears before the first branch, W C10 supplies the answer, and saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness is visible on the first pass. Board cue: corner approach at K4, pincer at C10, and cut point near K16. 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 K4 | W Q10; 2. B F3 | W C10, which keeps the explanation tied to visible goals, obvious mistakes, and a record line that can be replayed without a live board.

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 K4 | W Q10.

Legal testa corner enclosure, a shoulder-hit pressure point, and a group that still

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 corner enclosure, a shoulder-hit pressure point, and a group that still needs eyes; one visible plan and one tempting mistake; corner approach at.

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.

Common Mistake

Commentary

First reading pass for Go / Weiqi First Plan: Safe Reply: Match move one B K4 | W Q10; move two B F3 | W C10 to corner approach at K4, pincer at C10, and cut point near K16. Then name the liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check before reading any branch.

The first plan: safe reply record-reading point is not volume of moves. It is whether B F3 still works after W C10 is named.

The tempting move changes the board now, but a forcing-looking cut can strengthen the opponent if the outside group has fewer liberties. In this record note, that difference is visible at B F3.

A player importing habits from another board game should slow down at corner approach at K4, pincer at C10, and cut point near K16. The safe bridge is liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order.

Exit test: quote move one B K4 | W Q10; move two B F3 | W C10. Then explain why saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness was tempting before opening the next same-game record.

  • What would change in this first plan: safe reply record if the reply W C10 arrived one move earlier?
  • In the first plan: safe reply position, which candidate around B F3 is tempting, and what part of liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order makes W C10 punish it?

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 beginner record line is copied from that source.

What this record note is1. B K4 | W Q10 is a record line

This page uses 1. B K4 | W Q10 as a compact Go / Weiqi record line for corner enclosure shoulder-hit pressure point group still needs eyes visible plan tempting mistake corner approach at. 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 K4 | W Q10 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 corner enclosure shoulder-hit pressure point group still needs eyes visible plan tempting mistake corner approach at. 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 short Go / Weiqi line that starts like 1. B K4 | W Q10 and explains one rule cue around corner enclosure shoulder-hit pressure point group still needs eyes visible plan tempting mistake corner approach at; skip long database branches until the first mistake can be named.

  5. Separate
    Keep the record line separate

    Treat this beginner 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.
