Moyo
Difficulty: Advanced
Keywords: Opening, Go term
A moyo is an area where one player has a large influence, and which potentially could become that player's territory. In the diagram we see a large black moyo on the left and lower side, and a white moyo on the right side. A moyo is often explained as a 'potential territory', but one should watch out considering as such. Turning a moyo in territory is often not the best way to deal with it, especially not with large, spread-out moyos like this one. Rather, a moyo player should invite his or her opponent to invade, and then get profit from the attack. Of course if your opponent refuses to invade you should gradually convert your moyo to territory, but this is not the way things usually should work out.
