Reminder about the importance of fundamentals in Go

There is a new lesson by Nam Chi-hyung in Korean Times: Lesson 102: Back to Basics

I find it nice to be reminded from time to time about the fundamentals in Go.

Kosumi-Tsuke: Use and Abuse

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

I just finished a new article/lesson, titled “Kosumi-Tsuke: Use and Abuse”.

It is about when to use and when to avoid kosumi-tsuke, and it is based on an article I wrote for a (now defunct) online Romanian Go journal couple of years ago. I think the motivation for the original article was the fact that I’m myself a kosumi-tsuke abuser - I tend to overplay it a lot. I’m recovering now :-)

It is longer than the normal lessons on 361points.com and it is more targeted towards fundamentals, I hope - both of which are requests made by users via the feedback system on the website.

I hope you’ll find it useful!
