4-5 point Josekis

    Keywords: Joseki, Index page

If you know which joseki you are looking for,
the best way to find it is to use the [ext] position search.

The 4-5 point emphasizes center influence. It is both the least common and the most center-oriented of the five standard opening points.

Please note that many joseki after an initial 4-5 point transpose to better known 3-4 or 3-5 point joseki.
