Play On The Point Of Symmetry
In a symmetrical position, play on the point of symmetry. This proverb applies to tactical questions regarding life and death of groups, but also sometimes to more strategic questions regarding invasions / reductions.
In the example, black can keep his group alive in seki by playing on the point of symmetry as shown below:
Ofcourse, sometimes (as in this example) there is more than one point of symmetry - but the proverb will at least reduce your options :-) White can kill black by playing at 5 or 7 instead of 2. --ArnoHollosi
:-(( OOPS.. Giving black a liberty extra, and making it obvious he cannot run out makes it better. Teaches me to check my examples :-) --MortenPahle(10Kyu) This is a copy of the living page "Play On The Point Of Symmetry" at Sensei's Library.
