Pigeon represents a sacrifice which is symbolic for this joseki.
Yeah the 1d one is 7x8 (or 8x7) so seems joseki related.
Also the pro picture reminds me of the shapes in that flying knife joseki
Isn’t there a saying “it’s an eagle’s flight to somewhere” (or something like that, not my native language)? Maybe this joseki is a straight flight to 10k?
I feel immensely stupid, I opened the thread in mobile and only saw the top of the picture, just saw it’s a strip.
The pigeon pooped on the game and inadvertently made a 10k play.
Oh that makes sense
Ouch, that’s quite a burn on DDK players
@bugcat, could you pls add “click to see the whole image, the preview shows only a small part” or something? Would make it easier to get it. Thx
Finally it makes sense!
You saved the day trohde! I finally get it . Thank you, and nice meme bugcat
I did make the image title “this meme didn’t quite come together”… ^^
I’m still confused!
10k through 1d all get only one answering move
but the Pro player reads that one corner out to endgame and turns into a pterodactyl?
also - because of the “pigeon” label, I honestly figured it was a call-back to this meme:
I like this even better when it is a 5D and those are Pro level players back there.
Also works for those being AI bots and that being a human
I’ll go with room #3, please.
