I recall a proverb that stated 'There lie bad moves next to tesuji'. However I cannot find it on sensei's collection of Go proverbs so you'll have to trust me it exists. It is not hard to imagine that the spots next to a move which is tesuji are inferior to the tesuji for a tesuji is per definitionem the smartest, coolest, whateverst move in its vicinity.
As some of you readers might know, I've been hospitalized since a while and this was one of the things I spent thoughts on as I have shitloads of time on hand to contemplate every possible flibbertigibbet.
So there I was, playing some on KGS, and this proverb randomly popped into my mind. 'Hmm', I thought, 'this proverb is pretty handy for finding bad moves.'
'How about', I concluded, 'I modify this proverb a little to look for good moves?'
And thus a proverb was rephrased: There lies tesuji next to bad move!
So whenever I am about to play a move I feel weird about, I would apply this and look for the hidden tesuji that may be adjacent to the move I want to play. In theory. In reality I keep forgetting it and play the bad move anyway.
So guys, please try out this fresh method for discovering tesujis in your games and tell me whether it works, thanks a bunch:)
