Fuseki
''Fuseki'' (Japanese: ; ) is the whole board Go opening theory, opening in the go (game), game of Go. Characteristics Less systematic Since each move is typically isolated and unforced (i.e., not a Go strategy and tactics#Sente and gote, sente move), patterns for play on the whole board have seen much less systematic study than for Joseki, which are often contact moves which require specific and immediate responses. Hence a game of Go may easily explore an unfamiliar path. Recognised names Only a proportion of fusekis have recognised or specific names. These include the two-star fuseki (''nirensei fuseki''), three-star fuseki (''sanrensei fuseki''), Chinese fuseki, Kobayashi fuseki, and Shusaku fuseki. These are names for the influential formations which Black makes in the opening. Type of fuseki Territorial approach As played on a large board (e.g., the standard 19x19 line Go equipment#Board, goban), traditional wisdom says the priority is to play Joseki, corner enclosures, ...

Chinese Fuseki
The Chinese opening (often Chinese fuseki) (Japanese: 中国流布石, chūgokuryū fuseki; ) is an opening pattern in the game of Go (board game), Go. It refers to the placement of Black 1, Black 3 and Black 5 at the start of the game; and so, depending on White's plays, is a complex of whole-board go openings. It is distinguished by rapid development on the side, rather than making a corner enclosure, inviting White to start an invasion. It has a fairly long history, originally used by Japanese player Hajime Yasunaga, and introduced to Chinese Go at a later stage, but the Chinese player Chen Zude pioneered it in top-level play. The Chinese style became very popular in Japan from about 1970 onwards, and has by Go standards a thoroughly-researched theory. It has two variants: high (with 5 in the diagram on the fourth line) and low (as depicted). There is also a so-called "mini"-Chinese fuseki, an attack against the opponent's corner and placement of a stone midway between the at ...

There is some specialised terminology for go openings. The precise meanings of Japanese language terms is often misunderstood. A go whole-board opening refers to an opening sequence of plays, almost always laid out the standard 19×19 go board. Because of the symmetry of the board (eight-fold), there are certain conventions about displaying opening moves traditional in Japan.

The Japanese term for the opening phase of the game is ''joban'', but this is not used in English. Instead it is very common to use ''fuseki'', a Japanese term that has a literal meaning of 'scattering of stones'. This really refers, therefore, to the way the i ...

Go Strategy And Tactics
The game of Go has simple rules that can be learned very quickly but, as with chess and similar board games, complex strategies may be employed by experienced players. Go opening theory The whole board opening is called fuseki. An important principle to follow in early play is "corner, side, center." In other words, the corners are the easiest places to take territory, because two sides of the board can be used as boundaries. Once the corners are occupied, the next most valuable points are along the sides, aiming to use the edge as a territorial boundary. Capturing territory in the middle, where it must be surrounded on all four sides, is extremely difficult. The same is true for founding a living group: Easiest in the corner, most difficult in the center. The first moves are usually played on or near the 4-4 star points in the corners, because in those places it is easiest to gain territory or influence. In order to be totally secure alone, a corner stone must be placed on t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
