Small Chinese Fuseki
   

The Small Chinese Fuseki (also called the Mini-Chinese Fuseki) is the pattern of 1, 5 and 7 in the diagram below. B 5 may also be a play at 'a' against a White komoku at 'b'. The placement of 3 may vary.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Mini-Chinese

The relationship between 1 and 7 is the same as in the Chinese Fuseki and gives the fuseki its name. B intends to use the same strategies as the regular Chinese against a White play around 'c'.

Obviously White can prevent the formation of the Small Chinese by playing a pincer against B 5.

Charles Matthews looks at the Small Chinese in chapter 6, "Adding Asymmetry", of his [ext] series at Mindzine.
