Black Should Resign If One Player Has Four Corners
   

The proverb "Black should resign if one player has four corners" is a concatenation of two proverbs: "If black has all four corners, he should resign" and "if white has all four conrers, black should resign".

They are tongue-in-cheek statements based on the fact that normally white is a stronger player than black.

Therefore, if white has managed to capture all four corners, it is assumed that black has lost the game. Conversely, if white has let black take all four corners, she has taken so much profit elsewhere that black should still resign.
