Oba
   

Oba stands for a big point. During the fuseki of a professional game, the players often spend a lot of thinking time to try and grab the last big point on the board (oba no tedomari).

[Diagram]
Diag.: An example

If White adopts a Mimic Go (MirrorGo) strategy, Black can take the last oba by playing move 11 at A (tengen).
