Framework

Came accross a very usefull page in Sensei's today about how to use Framwork.
So rather than just happily playing along untill I notice that my opponent has a huge moyo and then blindly leaping in in a desperate attempt to invade and reduce the territory they gain in it I have no learnt better ways to deal with large framworks and, more importantly, how to see them appearing and when it is good to build them myself.
I attempted to apply this new knowledge in my next game on KGS, and I sucessfully built a very large framework and then turned it into territory and was around 60 points untill I lost both my corners to my opponent who then found a nice big flaw in the edge of my framwork. Eventually I won the game by half a point, which I won in a Ko fight right at the end. Exciting game, and one I certanly would have lost without my new knowledge about framwork. It's great to see new knowledge actually effecting my games for once! :)
