MEMBER’S EDITION: Questions from Actual Play #52

Question Diagram: I was aiming at invading at Black A and White played the diagonal attachment at White 1. I had a bad feeling about what White might be aiming at in the corner. What should I do to defend? This is the fifty-second installment (click here to download PDF) of a new series of studies brought to us by Robert McGuigan in translation from “Jissen ni tsuyoku naru 80 dai (80 questions for getting strong at real play)” by Haruyama Isamu 9P (Haruyama is the author of Basic Techniques of Go). McGuigan translated another series earlier, based on writings of Nakayama Noriyuki 6P, called “What’s Wrong with that Move?” This material is used by permission of the Nihon Kiin which published the original text in 1979. Haruyama says that his primary audience is players who are aiming for shodan. by Haruyama Isamu 9P, translated by Robert McGuigan
