PracticalApproachToYose/Common Sente Components

Path: <= Endgame =>

First of all, remember that sente moves are only sente if they are played at proper time.

Sometimes the sequence given shouldn't be played out all at ones, but they should follow if both side play properly.

For example:

[Diagram]

B5 elsewhere

B1 W2 tend to be played much earlier than B3 W4, which is again, payed much earlier than W6.


First Line Hane Depth 1

[Diagram]

2 points


First Line Hane Depth 2

[Diagram]

4 points

Basically, each crawl on first line is 2 points.


First Line Hane at 12 point

[Diagram]

3 points

Very much like "First Line Hane Depth 1" except white needs to connect at a later on, so 1 points more.


First Line Poke

[Diagram]

7 points


Basic Monkey Jump

[Diagram]

B5 elsewhere

6 points


Monkey Jump With Second Line Connect Back

[Diagram]

7 points

This also apply to the variation with White throw in at a.


Half Monkey Jump

[Diagram]

B5 elsewhere

between 4 and 5 points

Technically, W6 doesn't necessary implies B7, but for practical reason and everyone's sanity, it is reasonable to assume it is.

One thing for sure though, is that this monkey jump is often 1+ point better than small monkey jump.

[Diagram]

B5 elsewhere

In the previous diagram, even if Black treat W6 B7 as White's privilege and White gets a for free,

White has same amount of points, while Black has 1 points more in the previous diagram.


22 clamp

[Diagram]

B5 elsewhere

7 points
