"No cuts allowed: connect and build strength."

A 9-dan who says he "likes connecting." I want to watch him spread power across the whole board while keeping his stones connected.

watch for this.

Look for the move that connects two separated stones. Not only direct connections but also moves that make shapes hard for the opponent to cut are highlights.
