Nerai examples
Keywords: Strategy, Go term
Here are some examples of nerai and its verb form, nerau. I (Bill) expect that some SL readers may be puzzled. On the nerai page there is a lot of discussion about the meaning and translation of an unfamiliar go term. I thought that some examples might help people get an idea of what is being talked about. :-) As John Fairbairn points out, nerai/nerau is a fairly common Japanese go term. It occurs four times, for instance, in Go Seigen's commentary on his first game in Now I Would Play This Way: Go Seigen looks back at 18 games (Go Seigen: Omoide no 18 Kyoku: Ima Nara Ko Utsu). I thought that various examples from that book in different contexts would be of help. :-) (Note to other deshis: Since the purpose of this page is to illustrate discussion, please move any discussion, except possibly for a few brief comments, to the nerai page, or start a new one. Thanks. Additional examples are welcome, OC. :-)) Example 1 (Game 1, p. 11.)
My translation follows. How I rendered nerau is in italics. "If W14 is the one space jump at a, Black will probably protect at b and aim at an intrusion into White's top side position."
The phrase with nerau in it is, "Johen no shiro ye no shinnyu wo nerau desho."
My translation: "If White sinks roots on the right side with
Phrase with nerau: "
"So at this time
"Shiro no ichiban no nerai de aru A no nozoki".
"Black advances up to "Rei no kuro A to oku te wo neratte imasu." Bill: Many thanks to John Fairbairn for a few pointers. :-) Any inaccuracies are mine.
BobMcGuigan: Here's an example of the use of nerai from a Japanese book on countering large moyos. It comes up in the context of discussion of White's invasion at
