Non-Joseki Exercises
    Keywords: Joseki, Problem, Index page

Currently on Sensei's Library there are many problems and exercises on various topics including life and death, endgame and tesuji. However there seemed to be little exercises on josekis. In fact, although josekis are sets of moves that are kind of fixed and result in relatively fair result for both players in the local area, Go players learning josekis should understand the meaning of the moves behind them. Questions are like why this move is played this way, what if this move is played here, and so on. The underlying theory behind josekis sometimes involve various techniques like tesuji, life and death and shape, and so to study josekis effectively, one has to have a reasonable grasp on the more fundermental topics such as the ones mentioned above. And it is common to have players to play away from the joseki sequence intentionally or because they do not know the joseki. Sometimes, new josekis are created this way.

These exercises discuss how to react when the opponent decides not to play according to the joseki.
