Rules of Joseki Study
I have an idea of how to go about studying joseki:
Firstly, take a standard sequence (short to start, growing more complex as you get stronger).
Secondly, look up all games that use the sequence, as well as common diversions to the sequence (a program like MoyoGo or SmartGo would help with this).
Study the whole board and notice what’s different when different variations are chosen. Is there a common theme with the full joseki? What is gained when the joseki is used, how is this used on the whole board?
I’m sure there are more questions that would be useful to ask, but when I’m studying Joseki, this is the method I’ll be using. More about it as I refine the method.
