Vision attacking play 3
Keywords: MiddleGame, Attack & Defence
Initial position, Black to play.
Black attacked White directly, with the eye-stealing play Black 1. There are two things wrong with this.
The first point means that Black will have to spend time defending this stone, later. White at a is an obvious weakness at the moment. The second point: as long as White's group doesn't die, how will Black take profit from this attack? There is no clear territory to be made.
Black 1 here is an attack with a better direction of play.
White 2 and 4 are a typical method to make shape against Black's jump out, which is locally somewhat thin. But in this case Black 5 induces a good result.
Black can be quite happy with the development in this diagram. After White 5 the lower black group cannot be considered as seriously weak; while Black 6 is clearly a good way to take profit while attacking. This page is part of the Trigantius archives.
