Warikomi
Keywords: Shape, Go term
Warikomi is a move wedging between two enemy stones.
A warikomi is often a tesuji used to create cutting points or separate the opponent's stones. For example:
HolIgor comments. I was taught that it is to your disadvantage to play between two stones separated by 1 space. I followed this rule to discover later that this is not always true and as the stones appear on both sides of the ikken-tobi formation you have to consider seriously a probability of a cut. At some point the motto of the day was "Check your connections". Get good connections, trust your connections but check them. This is a copy of the living page "Warikomi" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
