I am not very good at making use of thickness. I have a good example that came up in one of my games where I built a big wall and don’t really know what to do with it. I am talking about move 18 in this game: https://online-go.com/game/9040184.
In the game I chose to push one last time, giving a bit more territory to black, and then attack the group on the lower right.
@MrCplaysgo Thanks a lot for the video it was very good. I already know about the theory from books but I sometimes struggle to put it in practice.
If everyone thinks the attack on the lower right was the best use of this thickness I only have one question remaining: was it correct to stop pushing one last time at move 18 or should I have stopped and protected the E7 cut? Had to think a lot about this during the game.
I dont see the e7 cut as a major threat, though black could peep at it given the right situation. i would nevertheless start to be careful about pushing at this point (or sooner), because black is already on the 4th line and the top left has a black stone.
