Korigatachi literally means 'frozen shape', and stands for an overconcentrated shape on the board. (Fhayashi: I'm not sure about the 'frozen shape' part. That would be ko-o-ri gatachi, while I've seen it written in the Fujisawa Tesuji Dictionary as ko-ri gatachi, in katagana. I suspect the kori refers to 'cramped', which seems to fit the usage (in the aforementioned dictionary, at least).)

This means that these stones have not been developed to their full efficiency on the board: they are overconcentrated. --Stefan Path: Mistake · Prev: Overconcentration · Next: Overplay This is a copy of the living page "Korigatachi" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
