MIRUGO WATCH POINT
For this player,
watch for this.
When a move that seems to stray from joseki appears, look at its distance from the surrounding stones. Is it a move to fight right away, or one that boosts efficiency across the whole board? That's the highlight.
WATCHING CHARACTER
Personality that shows
on the board.
A player to watch for ideas that question the efficiency of stones and their whole-board value, unbound by conventional shapes.
