Hey there.

Not much to say at the moment, but I plan to write a page about 13x13 fuseki soon. I'm a low dan player.

Some examples of black formations to be discussed:

[Diagram]
Nirensei  

Don't like it much, as it aims too much for development on east and west sides ... Which isn't easy to achieve on 13x13. However I never really tried it.

[Diagram]
Winged  

This is the first fuseki I experimented. Might looks good as it secures a side and two corners, but not a very active formation. You won't have the initiative often if facing a good white player.

[Diagram]
Nimokuhazushi  

Still having the idea that if a corner is good for 13x13, let's take it twice, I experimented the Nimokuhazushi (2x 5-3) a lot. If white invades at a or b, black can happily pincer and this becomes a hard game for white. But white at c really cuts black stones and I haven't thought of a good way to handle that yet.

[Diagram]
Nikomoku  

Not as good as the half chinese (which comes next) in my opinion, as there is more space between the corners (too much room for white invading at a).

[Diagram]
Half chinese  

This, in my opinion is better than Nimokuhazushi or Nikomoku fusekis, because of the balance between corners, 5 spaces instead of 6. This is the formation I am working with at the moment, but it's not as easy as previous ones to set up as white can easily prevent it.

[Diagram]
Half high chinese  

Quite close to the previous one, more oriented toward center though.

[Diagram]
Ambush  

Another formation I like a lot, call for an invasion but it's hard for white to find a way to settle fast. By tewari it seems that 1 might be better at a, but because opponent's corner is so close I think it works quite well that way for 13x13.

Tried it a bit, so far without much success.

[Diagram]
Concervative  

A peaceful developement, haven't tried it yet but looks quite good.

[Diagram]
Mukai Komoku  

Haven't really thought about this yet.

[Diagram]
Crossed fuseki with tengen  

Tengen is easier to use on 13x13 than on 19x19, so this fuseki looks playable and very fight oriented. I haven't tried it yet, but will soon, looks very tempting!
