Go / Weiqi Beginner Rules: Final Tempo Setup with B Q10
1. B R14 | W K4Main mistake: saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness
for this record, use a small check, use this beginner territory strategy rule card as an encyclopedia checkpoint: build the rule card in order: setup, win condition, legal move, turn order, notation bridge, common rule trap, and variant boundary. Only after that, replay 1. B R14 | W K4; 2. B Q10 | W F3 and explain why W F3 exposes saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness.
1. B R14 | W K4in this example, keep the question narrow, beginner readers should start by naming saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness; it tells them what to watch when B Q10 appears. 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 rule card: final tempo record is read.
after the opening pair, make one local test, rule card: final tempo turns on 3. B C10 | W K16. In this Go / Weiqi rule card, a reader who skips this entry will think saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness is a small detail, when it is the line's warning sign. Write this beside it: Black extends before cutting, so the weak group has a running lane.
In the replay notebook, check the rule before style, mark W F3 as the answer test, then explain the line as if the reader has never seen this rule card before. For rule card: final tempo, the plan is not to memorize the line; it is to explain why W F3 changes the answer.

for this record, use a small check, after this rule card: final tempo record, keep the visual cue corner approach at R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10 attached to the final note. The record has succeeded when W F3 feels like a test rather than another line of notation.
- 1Start on the board
before the replay, avoid the broad label, quote 1. B R14 | W K4, then find corner approach at R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10. This keeps the page from becoming a loose rule card overview and gives the reader a concrete starting mark.
- 2Name the rule cue
before the replay, avoid the broad label, use the rule cue as a filter: a legal-looking move is not enough if it fails the next reply and loses the position's purpose.
- 3Stress-test the plan
before the replay, avoid the broad label, 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.
- 4Close with a same-game step
before the replay, avoid the broad label, after comparing 4. B N17 | W J10 with the finish at 6. B Q16 | W C6, choose a same-game page that changes one reading demand while keeping the notation familiar. The next page should make liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order easier to test, not restart the reader with a different ruleset.
The ladder 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 R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10. Rule frame: board vocabulary before move quality, notation bridge before replay, and source rules before annotated records. Replay evidence: move one B R14 | W K4; move two B Q10 | W F3. Treat it as rule-card evidence, not a full match score.
In the replay notebook, check the rule before style, mark W F3 as the answer test, then explain the line as if the reader has never seen this rule card before. For rule card: final tempo, the plan is not to memorize the line; it is to explain why W F3 changes the answer.

- Key decision
- before the replay, avoid the broad label, 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.
- Mistake diagnostic
- before using a source, write the task in plain words, the simplest self-check is this. If the explanation sounds like general strategy, return to corner approach at R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10 and make it local again. In this Go / Weiqi rule card, legality is not enough; the move also has to keep answering liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order.

What this record looks like
With the rule still visible, let the diagram lead, a beginner Go / Weiqi final tempo rule card should read like a compact encyclopedia entry before it reads like a record note: setup, win condition, legal move, turn order, notation bridge, common rule trap, variant boundary, then record-reading bridge. The short line 1. B R14 | W K4; 2. B Q10 | W F3 is included only to make the rule concrete. Board cue: corner approach at R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10. Rule check: liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order. It does not replace the source rules.
Position cue

Unique asset
A self-authored SVG record diagram for this Go / Weiqi rule card marks corner approach at R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10. It is paired with Go board coordinates with Black/White turns beginning 1. B R14 | W K4; 2. B Q10 | W F3. The public reference image pub-go-board-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 R14 | W K4, 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 R14 | W K4.
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 approach, a pincer shape, and a liberty count that decides connection; one visible plan and one tempting mistake; corner approach at R14,.
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.

Commentary
First reading pass for Go / Weiqi Rule Card: Final Tempo: Start with one inspection job: locate B Q10. Then explain why W F3 is the reply test.
This Go / Weiqi rule card: final tempo note rewards the player who names the threat before moving. For rule card: final tempo, B Q10 only makes sense after corner approach at R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10 is counted.
Go / Weiqi rule card: final tempo can punish a move that only looks energetic. In this rule card: final tempo record note, a forcing-looking cut can strengthen the opponent if the outside group has fewer liberties, so the annotation stays attached to liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order.
Transfer note for Go / Weiqi Rule Card: Final Tempo: Go / Weiqi is deeper than most race games because every local exchange also changes the whole-board map. For this rule card: final tempo page, name liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order before adding a broad strategy label.
Choose the next related record only after naming corner approach at R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10, saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness, and the rule that made the reply work.

- Use outside material to check B/W coordinates, liberties, connection shape, sente/gote timing, and local fighting purpose, source type, and position similarity before returning to the article line.
- Keep separate
- Use SGF move trees, player metadata, commentary, or whole game files only as context checks; this beginner record note stays an original annotated record example, separate from outside scores, player metadata, and source commentary.
- Notation and turn order: 1. B R14 | W K4.
- Position job and trained mistake: a corner approach, a pincer shape, and a liberty count that decides connection; one visible plan and one tempting mistake; corner approach at R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the rule card / 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 Rules setup + corner approach pincer shape liberty count decides connection visible plan + 1. B R14 | W K4 + saving corner territory by giving outside group too much thicknessOpen u-go.net Game RecordsStart with corner approach pincer shape liberty count decides connection visible plan. 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 R14 | W K4 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 R14 | W K4. Compare outside records only for notation shape before judging move quality.
- 2Anchor the same kind of position
Use this page cue: a corner approach, a pincer shape, and a liberty count that decides connection; one visible plan and one tempting mistake; corner approach at R14, pincer at F3, and cut point near C10; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the rule card 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: at the first branch, avoid the broad label, this Go / Weiqi page uses Wikimedia Commons Go board photograph as a public-library reference because it shows 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 page keeps the open reference image contextual rather than exact. This public-library context remains separate from the self-authored article-specific diagram.
