[Seattle Go Center] SDK Tonight: Mini Chinese Formation

Hi all,

Tonight we'll start by reviewing the basics of endgame - how to determine the value of a move, what some of the most common endgame moves are worth, and how to think about sente & gote toward the end of the game.

Then we'll take a look at the Mini Chinese formation, which was extremely popular in professional go somewhat recently (i.e. this century) and is still occasionally played today. There are a few resources on the web that'll give you a taste of what to expect:

Sensei's library: http://senseis.xmp.net/?SmallChineseFuseki
Charles Matthews article (briefly discusses the mini-Chinese in the second half of the article): http://gobase.org/studying/articles/matthews/fuseki/06/
Dwyrin lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toW2Q97sgiM

We'll take a look at the key concepts to keep in mind when playing the Mini Chinese and some of the most often played lines. Hope to see you at the Go center tonight!
