Shusaku Fuseki
Difficulty: Advanced
Keywords: Opening
Although it had been played two or three times before, the Shusaku Fuseki rightfully bears Shusaku's name, because he played it often and developped it into a basic fuseki strategy. The basic of the Shusaku fuseki is formed by the moves 1-3-5. Black 7 is the famous kosumi of Shusaku, a move he was rightfully proud of. Still, nowadays it is little played. According to professionals, black 7 is too solid for current go, and is likely to guarantee black a win by 3 or 4 points, which is too little to compensate for the komi. Thus, nowadays, rather than black 5, a pincer somewhere around A is more common. Authors:
