End of fuseki, start of chuban
    Keywords: Opening, MiddleGame, Strategy

Here we discuss when the fuseki (opening) can be said to go over into chuban (middle game).

DieterVerhofstadt: In the opening, both players sketch out there spheres of influence. The middle game starts when

  • a player plays in the opponent's sphere of influence, and a fight starts
  • a complicated standard sequence (joseki) extends into a fight
  • a player makes a mistake in the opening, and his opponent punishes him by chasing him into a fight

In all cases, groups of both players run out into the center. This is the distinguishing feature of the middle game.
