Classification of positions
Difficulty: Expert Keywords: Strategy
A: By phases of the gameHere there are opening, middle game and endgame positions, and it is probably useful to subdivide each into early/late:
B: By openingThis isn't really an effective way to classify, though there are perhaps such things as 'typical Takemiya sanrensei positions'. Ryojimari positions are fairly characteristic. C: By middle game featuresThis, in contrast, probably does help. For example suppose there is no large framework. Then the game has become a 'game of small groups'. This type of game is normally won by the player with better reading, so it is best avoided (unless you are strong).
