DaveSigaty: The original problem on BQM31 refers to Kogo recommending a as the preferred reply to the double kakari of 2 and 4. In the game cited, Black actually chose b. Black b is certainly the traditional reply but I wondered what is actually used most frequently in this position in modern Go. I used the GoGoD CD and limited my search to games from 2000-2001. The results for the 81 games listed that featured the double kakari were as follows:
I searched with an otherwise empty quadrant out as far as the neighboring star-points so these games represented double kakari attacks on the back corner stone - rather than replies to a black pincer.
The most popular tsuke nobi variation proceeded through White 4 in 21 games. Black replied with 5 in 19 of them (and a in the other two). White 6 is the most frequent continuation, appearing in 14 of the 19 games (White b appeared four times and White c once).
White plays to deny Black the Kobayashi Fuseki. In this and the following example Black may respond to White 6 before turning to the lower left.
White plays to deny Black the Small Chinese Fuseki. Path: StatisticalAnalysis · Prev: 44PointLowApproach · Next: 34PointDistantLowApproachStatisticalAnalysis This is a copy of the living page "BQM31 Modern Double Kakari" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
