Ishidate

   

Ishidate ( 石立て ) is a Japanese go term literally meaning setting up stones or the setup of the stones.

Bill: I think that it is a synonym for fuseki, but there may be nuances. Another synonym: Ishi no kamae ( 構え )?

Bob McGuigan: I wouldn't call it a synonym for fuseki, but setup seems OK, as does kamae as a synonym. Kamae also has the sense of structure, which seems appropriate in this case. If the word "framework" weren't already taken as a translation of moyou I might want to use framework for kamae.

Shuei style

This example comes from [ext] http://www2.tokai.or.jp/tuta/nisikyoku.html . The commentary states:

ここで白2とカカリ、黒3、5と常用の攻めに出たとき、白6とハサみ返すのが秀栄流の石立てです。

Here when White plays the kakari at W2 and Black plays the everyday attack of B3 - B5, playing the counter pincer at W6 is Shuei style ishidate.

Bill: Does ishidate refer just to W6, or to W2 - W6?
