True. When you overthink you lose. Always happens.
If the handicap is anywhere near correct, white is so superior in reading to black that getting into complicated fights is unwise for black. Also, in nine stone handicap games simple shapes are usually the most efficient for black. That is not to say that black should go around following white or doing his bidding. If black only keeps the big picture in mind and plays a lot of honte moves and builds influence while keeping white groups separated and not developing properly, he should be able to maintain his lead until the end.
Need to watch a few games so I can understand it more. When you see something it is easier to learn. Will put Finland on my travel list so I can watch some GO.
Running out of voting power so will catch up tomorrow. Vote is weak enough but the least I can do is 100 percent.
