Fuseki
    Keywords: Opening, Go term

The Fuseki is the opening of the game.

A general, basic introduction to the opening starts at About the Opening.

Some Fusekis are more common than others, and have received names. A more detailed discussion of these can be found on some of the pages listed here.

Most named openings derive their name from the pattern adopted by Black.

Historically, 'Shusaku-style' is a term often used to the mainstream theories from 1840 onwards (the major recognised patterns from that time being the Shusaku fuseki itself, the regulation fuseki, and openings in which Black 1 and 3 enclose a corner). ShinFuseki refers to a period 1933-1935/6 of intense experimentation by Japanese professional players. Sougou fuseki is a name applied to the beginnings of modern theory in the years that followed.

The part of the Fuseki played in one corner is called a joseki - which more accurately means any standardised sequence.
