Korigatachi
   

Korigatachi literally means 'frozen shape', and stands for an overconcentrated shape on the board.

Diag.: Dosaku (W) - Yasui Chitetsu (B) (1670)

Dosaku, the undisputed best player of his time, brought go to a new level of theoretical knowledge. It was he who introduced the concept of tewari analysis. Applying this, he tried to overconcentrate the shapes of his opponents, like in this 1670 game against Chitetsu.

Diag.: Korigatachi

After this sequence the black formation at the top is very strong. However the influence of both black subgroups overlaps in the marked area. This means that these stones have not been developed to their full efficiency on the board: they are overconcentrated.
