Go / Weiqi Intermediate Rules: Safe Reply Setup with B C6

First line1. B D4 | W Q16

Main mistake: playing a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape

Use this intermediate 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 D4 | W Q16; 2. B C6 | W R14 and explain why W R14 exposes playing a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape.

What this record looks like

An intermediate Go / Weiqi safe reply rule card should read like a compact encyclopedia entry before it reads like a lesson: setup, win condition, legal move, turn order, notation bridge, common rule trap, variant boundary, then record-reading bridge. The short line 1. B D4 | W Q16; 2. B C6 | W R14 is included only to make the rule concrete. Board cue: corner approach at D4, pincer at R14, and cut point near K4. Rule check: liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order. It does not replace the source rules.

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. In this lesson the first line is 1. B D4 | W Q16.

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 lessons 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; two candidate plans and a turning point; corner approach at.

Trap to watchplaying a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape

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 playing a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape.

Common Mistake

Mistake to test: playing a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape. Replay 1. B D4 | W Q16 against a corner enclosure, a shoulder-hit pressure point, and a group that still needs eyes; two candidate plans and, then name the rule or reply that prevents it.

Commentary

First reading pass for Go / Weiqi Rule Card: Safe Reply: Match move one B D4 | W Q16; move two B C6 | W R14 to corner approach at D4, pincer at R14, and cut point near K4. Then name the liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check before reading any branch.

The rule card: safe reply teaching point is not volume of moves. It is whether B C6 still works after W R14 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 fragment, that difference is visible at B C6.

A player importing habits from another board game should slow down at corner approach at D4, pincer at R14, and cut point near K4. The safe bridge is liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order.

Exit test: quote move one B D4 | W Q16; move two B C6 | W R14. Then explain why playing a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape was tempting before opening the next same-game record.

Study Questions

  • Which setup detail in corner approach at D4, pincer at R14, and cut point near K4 has to be true before 1. B D4 | W Q16; 2. B C6 | W R14 can be read correctly?
  • What is the win condition, and which part of liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order stops B C6 from being judged only as activity?
  • Which legal-move or turn-order rule does W R14 test in this rule card: safe reply card?
  • Go / Weiqi: where would you write the variant boundary before opening a real source or the next record lesson?

Copy boundaryGo / Weiqi outside-material ruleu-go.net Game Records

Read this as a composed teaching fragment for Go / Weiqi rule card: built to compare candidate replies, beginning 1. B D4 | W Q16; 2. B C6 | W R14. It is not a tournament score; use it as an intermediate study-note example before opening external records. The page-specific mistake check is playing a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape.

Compare
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.
Boundary
Use SGF move trees, player metadata, commentary, or whole game files only as context checks; this intermediate lesson stays an original teaching example, separate from outside scores, player metadata, and source commentary.
What to compare
  • Notation and turn order: 1. B D4 | W Q16.
  • Position job and trained mistake: a corner enclosure, a shoulder-hit pressure point, and a group that still needs eyes; two candidate plans and a turning point; corner approach at D4, pincer at R14, and cut point near K4; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the rule card / playing a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape.
  • Image fit, source URL, license label, and whether the public image matches the same game family.
What stays outside
  • 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.

Classic lookup cue for Go / Weiqi

Use u-go.net Game Records as a real-record or position lookup context. This page remains a composed teaching fragment and is not a copied tournament score, named-player record, table log, or external database entry.

1Search by position type

Start with corner enclosure shoulder-hit pressure point group still needs eyes two. The goal is to find the same kind of board, tile, route, or threat problem before looking for an exact score.

2Compare notation shape

Use the sample 1. B D4 | W Q16 to compare notation form, move length, and record density against external material.

3Check the trained mistake

Keep this mistake visible while comparing: playing forcing-looking peep checking connection shape. A useful outside record should make that decision easier to discuss.

4Keep lesson and outside record separate

Open u-go.net Game Records for real records or position context, but keep this lesson separate from copied match scores and named-player claims.

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.

  1. 1
    Match the notation shape

    Start with Black/White coordinate notation and the sample 1. B D4 | W Q16. Compare outside records only for notation shape before judging move quality.

  2. 2
    Anchor the same kind of position

    Use this page cue: a corner enclosure, a shoulder-hit pressure point, and a group that still needs eyes; two candidate plans and a turning point; corner approach at D4, pincer at R14, and cut point near K4; 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.

  3. 3
    Read it as a intermediate lesson

    Compare record length, annotation density, and the trained mistake: playing a forcing-looking peep before checking connection shape. That is how this page explains what a intermediate record is for.

  4. 4
    Keep 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: For open-gallery context, the page adds Wikimedia Commons blank Go board, which gives readers a clean 19x19 board reference for coordinate and rule explanations; used as game-material context before the reader checks the article-specific study diagram. The exact tactical position stays in the self-authored diagram, so the public image is not used as the composed move sequence around B C6. Source: Wikimedia Commons blank Go board.
