Lockett's Law
Keywords: Opening
How far should Black extend? Bud Lockett was a 4 kyu in New Mexico who formulated Lockett's Law for extensions: "Always extend an even number of spaces. Then your opponent will not know where to invade."
When Black extends to 1, should White invade at a, or b? Is a puzzlement!
But if Black extends to 1 in this diagram, White 2 is an obvious invasion point. -- BillSpight ;-) This is a copy of the living page "Lockett's Law" at Sensei's Library. (C) the Authors, published under the OpenContent License V1.0. |
