Ishidate

   

Ishidate ( 石立て ) is an obsolete Japanese go term literally meaning setting up stones or the setup of the stones. It is a synonym for fuseki.

Example:

Shuei style

This example comes from [ext] http://www2.tokai.or.jp/tuta/nisikyoku.html (dead link). The commentary on the classical game states:

ここで白2とカカリ、黒3、5と常用の攻めに出たとき、白6とハサみ返すのが秀栄流の石立てです。

Here when White plays the kakari at W2 and Black plays the everyday attack of B3 - B5, playing the counter pincer at W6 is Shuei style ishidate.

JohnFairbairn discusses this term [ext] here, commenting (heavily abbreviated):

"The word ishidate (Jowa's) for fuseki means 'establishment of groups'. (...) The term fuseki (lit. spreading out of stones) could be seen as more descriptive of how to achieve (Shuei's) new opening style. (...) By Taisho times - the following decade - the term fuseki took over and by Showa times (1926) it had ousted its rival."
