Small Chinese Fuseki
Keywords: Opening
The Small Chinese Fuseki (also called the mini-chinese Fuseki) is the pattern of 1, 5 and 7 in the diagram below. Black 5 may also be a play at a against a White komoku at b. The placement of 3 may vary.
The relationship between 1 and 7 is the same as in the Chinese Fuseki and gives the fuseki its name. Black intends to use the same strategies as the regular Chinese against a white play around c. Obviously White can prevent the formation of the Small Chinese by playing a pincer against Black 5. (See Preferring to pincer.) Equally White can play 6 at c.
