Joseki
  Difficulty: Advanced   Keywords: Joseki

Joseki literally means decided stones which can be understood as generally agreed upon sequences of play. A Joseki is a sequence of moves which lead to what is normally considered as a fair outcome for both players. Many joseki exist, some of which are played very often, others only in special circumstances.

On the following pages, you'll find an extensive Overview of Joseki, a list of Joseki pages and more thoughts about joseki, describing the thinking behind, the virtues and the dangers of joseki.
