In Response To: Opening Moves Quiz #2 (Stick)

I'll give it a go, but probably will screw it up badly :).

1) With a single back checker, you want to attack, so I'd bring two down with 13/9 13/10.

2) 6/5*(2) seems obvious pointing on your opponent's head. I'd continue to try to build my front structure with 8/7(2), but I'd not be surprised if 24/22 is correct.

3) I don't like either alternative here. Bringing 2 down with 13/8 13/9 leaves a lot of fly shots. Moving 13/8 24/20 comes under the gun. However, with the ammo white has, I think it's important to split and try for an anchor, so I'd chose the split here.

4) I don't think we're in a position to make an all out attack here, so I'd make the balanced play of 24/21(2) 13/10(2) which improves our structure on both sides of the board.

5) You gotta fight for your 5 point! That makes 6/5 imperative. With that in mind, 13/7 gives more cover numbers, plus it's usually not a good idea to split and slot since if your slot is missed, your opponent will try to attack your split checkers. Therefore, I'd move 13/7 6/5*.
