Shinogi
Path: GoodPlay   · Prev: Shibui   · Next: SqueezeTesuji
    Keywords: Strategy

Shinogi is the technique of making a living group inside the opponent's sphere of influence (moyo). This technique can be part of a strategy, referred to as shinogi-strategy or amashi, where you take territory and let your opponent make a huge moyo, which you hope is big enough for you to live in.

The professional player par excellence associated with this strategy is Cho Chikun. In the eighties and early nineties, many of his title games were played against Takemiya Masaki, who is the epitome of the influence-oriented player. The outcome of those games mostly hung on whether or not Cho managed to make a living group inside Takemiya's moyo.
