C[This game was played between two 11-year old children at the \
European Youth Goe Championships at Brno in March this year. \
White is Colin Christiaans, Dutch Under 12 champion, Black is \
Roella Smith from the UK.]

C[It's common to start learning Go from San-ren-sei fuseki. At \
least, all players from Kazan Go School (Shikshin, me, Shikshina, \
Kulkov and others) used this fuseki for several years at the \
beginning. Later it's good to try Chinese fuseki for few years]

C[Sanrensei is best for creating moyo, so it's logic to play at \
A, B or C next.
Creating weak group is not the best plan. White can naturally \
reduce Black's moyo by attacking that group]

Finally, after some mistakes in yose from both sides, White won \
this game by 1 point.

Main advice for both sides: it's good to play carefully, when \
you are leading]
