"Watch the moves that choose territory."
A 1-dan who says he likes territory. I want to follow how this player, who does both Go and mahjong, chooses solid territory.
MIRUGO WATCH POINT
For this player,
watch for this.
After a player secures territory in a corner or on a side, see where the opponent's outside stones head. Watching what the side that took territory defends next lets you follow the meaning of the trade.
