Xinwen vs Boonyawai

——————————————

Xinwen had the opportunity to play with Boonyawai and the game was surrendered by Xinwen.

——————————————
*Crucial Moment of Ko Fight*

——————————————

Xinwen (Black) had an upper hand at the current situation controlling his favourite moyo game. It is black’s turn to play. where would you go?

——————————————
*kifu*

——————————————

Figure 1 (1~38), It has been a while since Xinwen last comment a game. Move-23 can be easily played at A for 3rd-line territory which could result in [Possible Variation 1]. Move-27 should defend at Move-28 or B for a stronger influence.

——————————————
*Figure 2 (38-52)*

——————————————

Figure 2 (38-52), White quickly snatches Move-38 to reduce Black’s potential moyo. Black’s Move-39 to Move-51 was not put enough thought. Xinwen had reviewed, it may be better to result in choice of [Joseki Variation 1] so that White is not thicken.

——————————————
*Crucial Moments*

move-79: move-56, move-64

——————————————

Figure 3 (52~86), Black had a good fight from move 70~86 getting a thick center.

Figure 4 (86~111), Black Move-89 could try to tenuki to play strongest move at A to test White’s life and death. White Move-116 was forcing Black to capture at Move-109 and threaten the game at Ko Move-111. B, C, D and E were potential Ko threat.

Regardless, the game was fun.
