3-4 point distant low approach statistics
   

(moved from 34PointDistantLowApproach) Dave Sigaty says:

Two points:

  • I think that it is more accurate to say that there was a brief flurry of interest by professionals in the move at a (see below) in 2001 but that it quickly died down already in 2002. The practical results in play were not superior to the more common two-space extension. (Charles: As I read the statistics, that's perhaps broadly true except in the Kobayashi formation.)
  • I think that it was Ishida who wrote that locally this position is considered good for Black. However, he was writing 30 years ago. If we look at the record (July 2002 GoGoD CD) for the position below broken into two periods, we have to conclude that this assessment is out of date:
    • Up to 1989: 122 matches (83/39), B: 58.2%, W: 38.5%
    • Since 1990: 151 matches (107/44), B: 49.0%, W: 51.0%

Search Pattern

The search space is quite wide in order to look at the assertion that "locally" this is considered good for Black.
