1-1 in Women’s Meijin

Kato Keiko lost the second game in this year’s Women’s Meijin title, so it’s 1-1. She is my favorite, because she was also insei at Igo Kenshu Center when I was insei. I wrote a page about this match – just with some interesting moves from the first game, but I also have something in mind about the second game to add soon. Problem from the first game: Black to play in the diagram:

On a different note: thanks to the anonymous user who left feedback asking “so what was the rule of thumb in the Kobayashi fuseki article?”. Good question – I updated the article to clarify.

    I would play at C.

    F, G: too close to black strength

    A,B,D,E: I’d love to play there, but they will look even better if you have a stone at C already. :-)

    Hi Niklas,

    You are right about F and G.

    Even if in the game Kato took a much more aggressive approach towards using here thickness (she played A), C is a very big, well-balanced move.
