IPlayChessMore's Study: Chapter 11
Chat room
- IPlayChessMore
did you have a clear plan here? - lucky_vii
was trying to setup a castle on the left, but I misplaced the silver general and offset the whole structure -n- - IPlayChessMore
this silver? - IPlayChessMore
on 39 - lucky_vii
the right silver - IPlayChessMore
yeah moving the silver here is a bit more conservative and doesnt commit it too soon - IPlayChessMore
when you move a silver here it is called a rapid attack because you often attack very quickly - lucky_vii
ic ic - IPlayChessMore
it however isnt that effective - IPlayChessMore
can you show me your set up? - lucky_vii
1 sec I'm gonna move to PC - IPlayChessMore
k - lucky_vii
okie - lucky_vii
not sure how to use this tho lol - lucky_vii
basically wanted king to end up here - lucky_vii
and silver on it's head - IPlayChessMore
like this? - lucky_vii
yeaa - IPlayChessMore
i dont think this castle is really strong because you can get attack very easily - lucky_vii
hmmm - IPlayChessMore
maybe you could try anaguma - lucky_vii
mhmm - IPlayChessMore
this is one of the strongest castles in the game - IPlayChessMore
however it takes time to build and while you build it the diaganol is weak - lucky_vii
like from there? - IPlayChessMore
yeah - lucky_vii
ic - IPlayChessMore
also the edge file is a weak point - IPlayChessMore
still very tough to crack - IPlayChessMore
have you tried playing ranging rook and castling on the other side? - lucky_vii
not as often - IPlayChessMore
any particular reason? - lucky_vii
not really :o still just trying out different openers (and often mixing multiple together and it gets messy -u-;)) - IPlayChessMore
brb - IPlayChessMore
ok im back - lucky_vii
hiya - lucky_vii
setup mino on right? - IPlayChessMore
yeah - IPlayChessMore
i just had to walk away again - IPlayChessMore
sry - lucky_vii
ah no worries at all lol - IPlayChessMore
i think you know the castle tho - lucky_vii
yea :3 - lucky_vii
after would I start moving the left silver in file with the rook? - IPlayChessMore
i would recommend finishing the castle first - IPlayChessMore
here you can advance the left silver a little - IPlayChessMore
but you dont want to open the position until the castle is finished - IPlayChessMore
also dont mind me casually hanging the bishop - lucky_vii
lol yea - IPlayChessMore
right now the opponent has a left mino castle - IPlayChessMore
it is very weak on the diaganol - IPlayChessMore
i think killer ducky has a study on all the castles - lucky_vii
I've been making my way through a bunch of them :o - lucky_vii
usually mix up moving silver or gold tho -u-; - IPlayChessMore
just a metter of practice - IPlayChessMore
what was the point of P-46? - lucky_vii
yea, I've been doing a lot of cpu matches :i - lucky_vii
hmm - lucky_vii
yea, not too sure :| - IPlayChessMore
i would focus more on the castle rather than the left silver - IPlayChessMore
right* - lucky_vii
ic :o - IPlayChessMore
here i thought you were going to make a yagura castle - IPlayChessMore
it is a very strong castle in the front - lucky_vii
oooo - IPlayChessMore
but you dont really want to be playing it if your opponent plays ranging rook - IPlayChessMore
because it is much weaker on the side - IPlayChessMore
those are the weak points - lucky_vii
would a wider cover be better? - IPlayChessMore
on the side i think so - IPlayChessMore
not sure how tho - lucky_vii
i remember seeing a duck formation that was cool :o - IPlayChessMore
i'm not the most strategic adept so i dont even know it - IPlayChessMore
this castle looks akward to me - lucky_vii
it is pretty akward hehe - IPlayChessMore
its weak on the square you highlighted - IPlayChessMore
and runs right into a ranging rook atttack - lucky_vii
ic ic - IPlayChessMore
this is the crab castle which is a lot stronger - IPlayChessMore
it is usually used to form into another castle - IPlayChessMore
like the yagura i showed you earlier - IPlayChessMore
oh well thats enough castle talk for now - IPlayChessMore
the pawn on 46 is blocking your bishop - IPlayChessMore
which gives more reason for why you should do P-63 instead - IPlayChessMore
i know you were going for your set up but it just weakens your king - IPlayChessMore
bringing another piece would help - lucky_vii
ic ic - IPlayChessMore
still very precarious position - IPlayChessMore
i feel like you are fine here becase of all your defensive resources - IPlayChessMore
so the immediate pawn break probably is not what i would be playing here - IPlayChessMore
tho i am kind of scared of the silver joining the attack for you - IPlayChessMore
so maybe it would be benificial to break the position open in a different way - lucky_vii
I was planning to, but was also scared lol - IPlayChessMore
this looks unpleasent for you - IPlayChessMore
so maybe sac the gold - IPlayChessMore
your diagonal is very weak - lucky_vii
yea the silver stayed far from the king for a while :/ was worried but not sure how I'd fix :o - IPlayChessMore
well i think it was important to identfy this weakness and try to keep it closed to your best ability - IPlayChessMore
because once there is a weakpoint an attack flourishes out of no where - lucky_vii
mhm, I tend to focus too much on where to attack instead of my weak points :o - IPlayChessMore
in shogi it is important to attack - IPlayChessMore
a lot more than in chess - IPlayChessMore
so i've always had this conservative approach - IPlayChessMore
might be time to switch files - IPlayChessMore
like this - IPlayChessMore
so that way i can't break through - IPlayChessMore
i think i shouldve gone here - IPlayChessMore
to stop your attack - lucky_vii
yea, thats strong >o> - IPlayChessMore
or maybe pose a threat - IPlayChessMore
tho i think it is just better to be patient and let you self implode - IPlayChessMore
becase your position is on the brink of collapsing - lucky_vii
I've gotta head out, but thanks for going through the match! it really helped :3 - IPlayChessMore
it was fun playing - lucky_vii
yea! :D - lucky_vii
imma do some more practice, but would like another match some time :3 - IPlayChessMore
take care
