    Keywords: Opening

The following game shows a fuseki which illustrates the proverb that one should extend from a crosscut when there are no other stones nearby. You can [ext] download an SGF file of this game.


DaveSigaty: I just came across this game - the epitome of the proverb? :-)

Takao Shinji? 6p (Black) takes on Yamashita Keigo 6p in the final of the 30th Shin'ei Tournament, a lightning television tournament broadcast on TV Tokyo 2000-3-19,26.

Diag.: Moves 1 to 10

Takao tries Yamashita's own 5-5 point opening against him and Yamashita replies with a play at tengen. The fun starts with 10. Naturally B crosscuts!

Diag.: Moves 11 to 15

Both of these guys know their proverbs! A nice little pinwheel? shape develops in the center of the board.

Diag.: Moves 16 to 22

White went on to win the game and thus the tournament.
