"Looking for personality beyond thickness."
A 2-dan who calls himself a thickness player rather than a territory player. I want to watch how stones that don't become territory right away work in later battles.
MIRUGO WATCH POINT
For this player,
watch for this.
Remember the direction in which the solid stones line up, and come back when a fight starts nearby. The highlight is whether the thickness supports an attack or turns into territory.
