Fourth Line
  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Opening, Strategy

The fourth line is the line of influence.

Building territory on the fourth line is attractive, compared with the same number and spacing of stones on the third line, because it is more efficient. But it is also less secure: invasions under stones placed on the fourth line must be expected. In those cases you need to take influence and use it for framework or fighting.
