Parallel Fuseki
Keywords: Opening, Go term
A parallel fuseki pattern is one in which both players make their initial plays in adjacent empty corners.
Black begins with 1 and 3 which White answers with 2 and 4. The B and W positions run parallel to each other on opposite sides of the board. Note that if 3 were at 4 and 4 at 3 the result would be the same.
The precursor of both the Chinese Fuseki and the Kobayashi Fuseki is also a parallel fuseki.
When W answers 1 with a play in an adjacent corner, B has the opportunity to play in the diagonally opposite corner. If W then plays in the last remaining empty corner, the two players have created a diagonal or tasuki fuseki.
The famous Shusaku Fuseki is neither a parallel nor a tasuki fuseki in the sense that the players do not start out by splitting the corners between them. This is a copy of the living page "Parallel Fuseki" at Sensei's Library. (C) the Authors, published under the OpenContent License V1.0. |
