Sometimes, even though I think I know where the next move should be (it looks like the vital point), I end up playing elsewhere. The opponent ignores my move and plays at the point I was thinking of. I tend to miss opportunities because I look here and there (trying to look at the whole board backfires). What should I do? Consultation One: Mr. Imamura Hello, Mr. Imamura. I really understand the feeling of vexation you have from not playing at the point you wanted to. The go board is so wide that there are lots of places you want to play. The problem is how to narrow down your choices. If you could master this, you would be a go god. ^0^ If you really miss lots of good opportunities because of this habit, the next time you think you’ve found the best point, just ignore all the other points! How about just playing where you want to play without worrying about the other options? You really regret it after the game when you don’t play where you wanted to play. Even if you lose the game, playing the moves you want to play will help you in the long run. I want to see your smiling face when you raise your winning percentage by not missing the vital point.
