Go / Weiqi Intermediate Rules: Timing Choice Setup with B Q16
1. B G17 | W D4Main mistake: saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness
Use this intermediate territory strategy rule card as an encyclopedia checkpoint: state the setup, win condition, legal move, turn order, and variant boundary before reading the record as advice. Only after that, replay 1. B G17 | W D4; 2. B Q16 | W C6 and explain why W C6 exposes saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness.

Start with the notation and level shape, then use the diagram as a check on the same position.

What this record looks like
An intermediate Go / Weiqi timing choice 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 G17 | W D4; 2. B Q16 | W C6 is included only to make the rule concrete. Board cue: corner approach at G17, pincer at C6, and cut point near R14. Rule check: liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order. It does not replace the source rules.
Position cue

Unique asset
A self-authored SVG study diagram for this Go / Weiqi rule card marks corner approach at G17, pincer at C6, and cut point near R14. It is paired with Go board coordinates with Black/White turns beginning 1. B G17 | W D4; 2. B Q16 | W C6. The public reference image pub-go-board-part 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 G17 | W D4, 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 intermediate 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 G17 | W D4.
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.
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 lesson
First replay: 1. B G17 | W D4. Keep the line short enough to say aloud before judging whether the move is good.

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 Rule Card: Timing Choice: Start with one inspection job: locate B Q16. Then explain why W C6 is the reply test.
This Go / Weiqi rule card: timing choice note rewards the player who names the threat before moving. For rule card: timing choice, B Q16 only makes sense after corner approach at G17, pincer at C6, and cut point near R14 is counted.
Go / Weiqi rule card: timing choice can punish a move that only looks energetic. In this rule card: timing choice fragment, 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: Timing Choice: Go / Weiqi is deeper than most race games because every local exchange also changes the whole-board map. For this rule card: timing choice 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 G17, pincer at C6, and cut point near R14, saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness, and the rule that made the reply work.

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.
- 1Match the notation shape
Start with Black/White coordinate notation and the sample 1. B G17 | W D4. Compare outside records only for notation shape before judging move quality.
- 2Anchor 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 G17, pincer at C6, and cut point near R14; 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 intermediate lesson
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 intermediate 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.
Reference layerRules checked separately from the teaching fragment1 rule source link for notation and boundary checks.

Public reference: Wikimedia Commons Go board with stones is the public-library context image for this Go / Weiqi lesson: it helps readers recognize a close-up Go board with black and white stones, matching liberty and shape lessons; used as game-material context before the reader checks the article-specific study diagram. The fit is contextual rather than exact: readers use it to recognize the game materials, then read the actual position from the study diagram. Source: Wikimedia Commons Go board with stones.
