My thoughts on 廖明濠 ...Good Luck to the 8 players for next week placement games! -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- My observations so far: He is able to pick up on enemy's weak moves and exploit it using his strong foundations. Based on his games so far, he is very strong in kill moves and time control. Currently, kurubear's level to 廖明濠 is [1] Opening 25% [2] Mid-games 30% [3] End-game 75% [4] Kill Moves 70% [5] Tournament Experience 15% [6] Time Control 5% [7] Mental Power 32% [8] Foundation Level 47% My Strategy: In the future when I face him, [1] Mentally, I would consider equal in chance for the game [2] Use very aggressive or stable opening and avoid gungfu-style opening. [3] Follow up on his weak moves. if any. [4] Aim for a favourable end-game, if possible. [5] Use tactics to reduce his advantages in fast thinking/strong foundation and hence the great difference in time used. [6] Go pray for divine help b
