Widest Path 1975 to 77
    Keywords: Opening

Below is the "widest path" (found by following the most popular response to the most popular move... etc.) for the three years 1975 through 1977 as they are represented in GoGoDCD. --DaveSigaty

[Diagram]
Diag.: 1975 - 1977 moves 1-8

  • Black 1 - 268 games; B wins 57.8%, White wins 41.7%. This is the first period in which B 1 on hoshi was more popular than the komoku play at a.
  • White 2 - 92 games; B 52.1%, W 47.8%. The komoku play at 4 and the san san at b were nearly as popular with 82 and 69 games respectively.
  • Black 3 - 54 games; B 50.0%, W 50.0%.
  • White 4 - 26 games; B 46.1%, W 53.8%.
  • Black 5 - 10 games; B 50.0%, W 50.0%. The alternative play of 5 at 7 was almost as popular with 9 games. The high play at c was used in six other games so overall the Chinese Fuseki in one form or another was chosen in over half the games.
  • White 6 - 4 games; B 50.0%, W 50.0%.
  • Black 7 - 4 games; B 50.0%, W 50.0%.
  • White 8 - 2 games; B 50.0%, W 50.0%.

That's all! Black tried each of d and e so the "Widest Path" had reduced to a single game after only 8 plays in this period.
