    Keywords: Go term

Flow of the stones is a metaphor for natural, harmonious development of play, by both players, that is suitable for the position.

Examples

Example 1:

[Diagram]
Go Seigen (W) - Kitani Minoru, Moves 10 to 15  

This example comes from the New Fuseki era, 1934. In Now I would play this way (Ima nara kou utsu), Go Seigen comments on this game.

W1 does not extend too far because of Black's center (black+circle). B4 welcomes an invasion, also because of his center, which will provide support for an attack in that case.

[Diagram]
Moves 16 to 21  

On p. 105 Go Seigen says that there is a natural flow of the stones from W10 to B21.
