Go / Weiqi Intermediate Reply Record: B K4 Shape Check Turn

First line1. B C6 | W R14

Main mistake: saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness

as the rule cue appears, turn notation into a question, read the 8-entry turning-point record as a territory strategy record note: connect liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order to B K4, split the line into candidate plan, reply, and timing change before reading further, compare the natural reply with the timing change created by W Q10, and then use the source shortcut only after the local rule cue is clear.

Why the level mattersintermediate shape

At the diagram, make one local test, use 1. B C6 | W R14; 2. B K4 | W Q10 as the baseline, then ask whether the middle move improves the plan or merely delays the reply. For turning point: shape check, the plan is not to memorize the line; it is to explain why W Q10 changes the answer.

Reader jobIntermediate record note

as the rule cue appears, turn notation into a question, after this turning point: shape check record, choose a next record from the same game family instead of jumping to a different ruleset. The next page should feel easier to choose because this one has narrowed the reading job.

  1. 1Anchor the notation

    as the level changes, read the reply as evidence, treat 1. B C6 | W R14 as a coordinate key: it should make corner approach at C6, pincer at Q10, and cut point near F3 easy to point at and easy to remember.

  2. 2Hold the boundary

    as the level changes, read the reply as evidence, name liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order in plain language, then check whether B K4 still respects it after the reply arrives.

  3. 3Test the reply

    as the level changes, read the reply as evidence, compare B K4 with W Q10. The record is useful when the reply makes the tempting mistake visible: saving corner territory by giving the outside group too much thickness.

  4. 4Pick the next comparison

    as the level changes, read the reply as evidence, the next page should preserve the game family and change only one demand, such as branch count, candidate load, or source checking.

Record goalIntermediate record note

The notation record task works on candidate moves, tempo, defensive replies, and the moment the plan changes. Board cue: corner approach at C6, pincer at Q10, and cut point near F3. Level job: the record note compares candidate moves and asks why one move preserves tempo while another only looks active for one 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 C6 | W R14; move two B K4 | W Q10; inspect B K4.

What this record looks like

Before using a source, hold the answer lightly, intermediate readers get a Go / Weiqi turning point: shape check record long enough to expose a reply sequence but still narrow enough to keep liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order in view. Board cue: corner approach at C6, pincer at Q10, and cut point near F3. 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 C6 | W R14; 2. B K4 | W Q10, which keeps the explanation tied to candidate moves, tempo, defensive replies, and the moment the plan changes.

Position cue

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 C6 | W R14.

Legal testa corner approach, a pincer shape, and a liberty count that decides

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; two candidate plans and a turning point; corner approach at C6,.

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.

Commentary

First reading pass for Go / Weiqi Turning Point: Shape Check: Read the first exchange as a Go / Weiqi board-location test. The local cue is corner approach at C6, pincer at Q10, and cut point near F3, not a memorized opening name.

Main habit for Turning Point: Shape Check: pause before B K4, count liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order, and then test W Q10.

Mistake note for Turning Point: 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 turning point: shape check page, that rule set is liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order around B K4.

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.

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 C6 | W R14 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 approach pincer shape liberty count decides connection two candidate plans turning point 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 Go / Weiqi record with candidate replies around corner approach pincer shape liberty count decides connection two candidate plans turning point corner approach at; compare where timing or safety changes after 1. B C6 | W R14.

  5. Separate
    Keep the record line separate

    Treat this intermediate 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.

What to compare
  • Notation and turn order: 1. B C6 | W R14.
  • Position job and trained mistake: a corner approach, a pincer shape, and a liberty count that decides connection; two candidate plans and a turning point; corner approach at C6, pincer at Q10, and cut point near F3; liberty count, connection, and sente/gote order check for the turning-point record / 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.
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.
