B: Yongfei Ge 7d
Commentary by Li Ting 1P (& Ryo Maeda 6P), transcribed by Chris Garlock
Recorded by Chris Burg

Stick to your plan (even if it's not necessarily the best plan). That's the lesson of this commentary, in which Sun begins building a moyo only to switch horses in mid-stream. Li Ting 1P, with an assist by Ryo Maeda 6P, shows the costs of inconsistency. ]

hotgo [7k\]: is r17 not good for w?
USGO4 [-\]: w initially wanted a moyo on this side but then jumped into the upper corner for terr
