Push And Teleport

    Keywords: Humour

The Push and Teleport is a standard pattern appearing in Stanley Style Go that consists of pushing your opponent from behind, and then making a placement behind the wall you've created for them.

Example from an actual game

Kirk: Seems to me this B7 is too close to White's thickness. How does Black reply to White a?

Jared: Kirk: You'd have to ask Stanley. None understand his Go but him.

Ubiquity: In accordance with Stanley Style Go Black would respond to a by attaching to it.

Andy Pierce: Accordingly, White could instead play at b which is just as cramping, but harder for Black to play sabaki.

[Diagram]

White's wall is working perfectly.

Kirk: a or b both lead to white gaining influence facing the upper left and black with a weak group which will likely allow white plays in sente along the black/white border. Where is the genius, Stanley?
