Getting ahead with a one-point jump

    Keywords: Shape, Tactics

[Diagram]
One-space jump  

When Black is not strong in this part of the board, his running group is most probably under attack. The basic move for defense is a one-point jump. Thus getting ahead with a one-point jump can be recommended.


Another case:

[Diagram]
Jump an extra line  

In this nadare variation, W4 (rather than a) tries to get well ahead of Black.

[Diagram]
Better influence  

This continuation is nearly forced. White has better influence than would be gained with White a in the previous diagram, and Black cannot yet cut at b.
