Keywords: MiddleGame
An invasion (Japanese: uchikomi) is a play made inside an enemy framework with the intention of living or escaping.
If after Black's kosumi 2 White makes a three-space extension 3, with the idea of having a good shape after the Black a-White b, exchange, Black instead plays an invasion 4. See also Invading Shimari, Invasions on the Side and 3-3 Point Invasion. See also Invasion Itinerary. Invasions occur throughout the game.
The difference between the second and third cases is that invasions in the middle game phase may create weak groups; which have no place in the endgame, where everything in theory is already settled in status and there is nowhere much to run.
