Kata
White move 1 is a shoulder hit with respect to the black marked stone. It is a very sly move. The main purpose of the move is keshi, i.e. decreasing potential territory of the opponent. And the main advantage of the move is that it is not easy to catch or cut off this stone. Black can choose between playing at 'a' or 'b'. Each choice has its advantages and should be considered depending on where the shoulder hit was incurred.
White managed to keshi potential moyo of the opponent. HolIgor Note: Kata means shoulder. The term for a shoulder blow is katatsuki. -- Bill Spight This is a copy of the living page "Kata" at Sensei's Library. (C) the Authors, published under the OpenContent License V1.0. |
