If you follow that mirror strategy as white, you are probably screwed whenever black plays tengen -- because you can't mirror it and it might have threatened many of your groups.

i'm wondering about perfect 19x19 game strategy (about which i assume not much is known). here's what i'm thinking. as white, mirror black until black plays inefficiently, then play to take advantage of that inefficiency. (so if the first move by black is inefficent, there will be no mirror). as black, being mirrored, play tengen as soon as it is the best move on the board. (i have a sense that tengen as first move won't pop out as best opening move for ideal play, but who knows?) are there any theoretical reasons to believe that it won't look like this? any practical reasons? i.e. has anyone seen tengen openings in pro games? i've seen them in high-level amateur dan games, but don't know if it's just people screwing around or if it has any legitimacy. same question applies to mirroring. just curious, s. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
