A bamboo joint can't be cut |
| |

A
bamboo joint is hard to cut because
there are two spots to be cut A and
B.
Therefore, it is one of the strongest
connections.

Add a stone to the sacrifice on the third
line |

Abandon
a stone on the third line only after
you add another stone to make two stones.
This way, you can use all of 3. 5, and

Attach to make shape |

When
making shape inside the opponent's territory,
attach to the opponent's stone.In the

points attaching with 1 makes a nice
shape of 3 atari, 2 bend or 11 stretch. |

Attack after making the other stones heavy
|
| |
|
|
Before
attacking a stone, you have to make
the other stones heavy.Pincer with 3
can make the opponent ignore or 3.3
infiltration can make the opponent abandon
the territory.So you have to make the
other stones heavy before attack so
that the opponent may not easily abandon
the territory. |

Approach from the wider side |

When
approaching from the opponent's corner,
approach from the wider side. If you
approach A, the narrow side, you will
be attacked. |

| Big

So it would be better to attack and

Capture
what you cut offIf you do not capture
with 2 and connect with A, Capture form
and thickness do not match with elsewhere.
From the Black's angle, he or she has
to cut off first what is opposite to
the side that is preferred to capture,
Because the opponent will capture what
is cut off. |

| Chess
is a battle,and Baduk is a war. It takes
a while to engage in many battles repeatedly
using various strategies to lead to
an end of a game.When playing Baduk,
you should never be discouraged over
one loss because another game is ahead
of you, and you should never be too
proud of one win unless you are sure
to win next time. |

Count
your threats before starting a pae(ko)
fight.You may be embarrassed to know
you do not have threats when you reckless
start a pae(ko) fight.When you do not
have threats, pae should be reserved
and you have to build your threats somewhere
else. Then, it would be harder for the
opponent to respond. |

Cut to gain a liberty |
| |
|
|
In
the capturing race, cutting off like
1 ends up with gaining one move. Attack
by 3 will cause Atari by white and you
will die short of liberty.But cutting
off by 1 first forms a suicide that
prevents Atari. |

Defend while attacking |
| |
|
|
You
have to defend yourself while attacking.Bend-connect
with 1, 3 by Black weakens White's basis.
Black's corner forms a perfect house.
Without bend-connect, White will possibly
regain its strength and you will suffer
from 3.3 attack. |

Don't crawl any more than you have to |
| |
|
|
Do
not crawl any more than you have to.There
is no choice for White when Black's
move creates initiative, but you do
not have to extend as far as X.When
not in a specific situation, you should
not crawl any more than you have to. |

Don't cut the one-space diagonal jump |
| |
|
|
You
are not expected to win if you recklessly
try to cut 'the one-space diagonal jump'.As
seen on your left, trying to cut off
a white stone made 2, 4 precede and
the stone cut off by 6 became a bad
move.'the one-space diagonal jump'move
implicates many moves around so you
should not cut it unless you have perfectly
figured out reading. . |

Don't give up key stones
|
| |
|
|
You
have to know what is a key stone and
what is not.4 '▲' stones of black are
all insignificant but Black's 'ㅇ' are
all key stones. You have to build up
key stones with 1 and find a way to
attack White's '□'.If you save 4 stones
with A, you will end up with making
insignificant stones heavier. |
|
| |
Top
|
| |
|
| |
16.
Don't make compact group of stones |
| |
|
|
Compact
groups of stones do not work well. They
are heavy, yet less effective.When Black
makes a cut off with ▲, do not try to
save White stones but just keep extending
with A. |
| 6-▲ |
|
| |
Top
|
| |
|

17.
Don't make empty triangles |
| |
|
|
Empty
triangles represent a very bad form.
When Black pushs on you with 2, you
have to take it with 3, then the empty
triangle of White's 4 and Black's 5
is inevitable. And still, a White stone
places on Black's vital point. As for
Black's 3, should-stick to A is a proper
move. |
|

Top
|
| |
|
| |
18.
Don't make only one huge territory |
| |
|
|
One
huge territory apparently looks huge.
But it is not that promising and is
forced to face too many end games. When
White makes a cut off with 1, put on
a hat around A and attack.The territory
will shrink, but you have to keep attacking
on White and take advantage elsewhere. |
|
| |
Top
|

|

19.
Don't make two weak groups |
| |
|
|
Two
weak groups are hard to control. Though
there is a weak group on upper sides,
attack is made from right side.Brilliant
attacks by 2, 4 and 6, 8 from equivalent
points of A and B , and White is out
of control.You have to control weak
groups first so that they may later
work for next fights. |
|
| |
Top
|
| |
|
| |
20.
Don't touch stones you want to attack
|
| |
|
|
Be
careful when touching weak stones. If
Black responds to White's attack by
'△' with placing stones lower than 1,
White will be easily controlled.Should-stick
to 4 brings about White's stand-up against
1, then you have to make 1 point jump,
slowly degrading the opponent's basis,
and attack. |

21.
Don't try to surround an area with an open
skirt |
| |
|
|
Surrounding
an area with an open skirt does not
contribute to a territory.When 1 tries
to make a cut off, it would be better
to attack Black 1 than to protect the
territory with 2. Because you have to
watch A again later anyway, it's like
a blow on your face. |
|
| |
Top
|
| |
|
| |
22.
Don't try to surround the center directly |
| |
| The
center looks huge but actually it is
not. And forming a territory in the
center requires blocking all four directions
in advance, which is also easily breakable.So
it would be better to start forming
a territory from a corner or a side,
and extend to the center from then than
to block the center. |

Don't peep at a bamboo joint
|
| |
|
|
It
dose not look good to peep at a bamboo
joint. Peeping with Black 1 does not
make a bamboo joint but moves of 2,
4 definitely creates peeping at a bamboo
joint.In this situation, just jumping
off to A is a good move. |
|

Top
|
| |
|
| |
24.
Don't peep at a cutting point |
| |
|
|
Watch
for a good chance to cut it when you
find a good spot to cut.Peeping and
having the opponent connect it is a
great loss. It is like you are willing
to get rid of the opponent's weakness.

25.
Don't play near thickness |
| |
|
|
Do
not get too close to the opponent's
thickness because you will have weak
groups as soon as you are attacked.In
this arrangement, you are doing well
enough if you make a move around A.
This way, you will decrease the opponent's
thickness and protect your territory
at the same time. |

|
Don't
play pae(ko) theats that hurt youWhite
plays a pae threat with 1 and Black
takes it, and this ends up with great
loss because some moves remaining around
A which can easily get cut. If you play
pae threats too much, pae burden for
the opponent decreases accordingly.
So you may have a great loss though
you have won the pae(ko). |

Each moves in a failed ladder costs seven
points |

Developing
a ladder is the last move that you have
to makeWhen thinking of adding a stone
that inevitably causes the opponent's

moves in a failed ladder costs seven
points. |

Enlarge eye space to live |
| |
|
|
There
are many cases you have to enlarge eye
space to liveFor example, you can make
a shape to live by enlarging eye space.
But you have to be careful because there
are some cases where you have to make
a move at the vital point rather than
to enlarge eye space in order to live.

Extend three spaces from two stone wall |
| |

As
seen in the diagram, it is suitable
to extend three spaces (to 1 or A) from
two stone wall (▲). It is easy to reconnect
after the opponent has cut it.

Extend two spaces from a single stone |
| |
|
|
As
seen in the diagram, it is suitable
to extend two spaces from a single stone
(▲). If you extend three or four spaces,
it is hard to connect it when the opponent
tries to cut it, and you will also have
two weak groups if the opponent's background
is strong. |

Fill outside liberties first |
| |
|

In
the capturing race, it is fundamental
to fill outside liberties as seen on
the right. Filling liberty inside 5
with 1 causes Black to be captured short
of one move. |

Give up worthless stones
|
| |
|
|
When
Black tries to cut off you with 1, it
is the worst move to extend to 3 in
order to save White's two stones. You
may save your ass but you still have
to crawl on the second line for a little
while. Just abandoning 2 and 4 to occupy
6 of great power is more promising for
White. |

Good moves and
bad moves are bedfellows. A move's final
fate is subject to detailed circumstances.
So it is important to make a move suitable
for the situation rather than to memorize
each move. In the diagram 1, Black's
1 is a good move. And in the diagram
2, Black's 2 is a bad move; it should
be placed on A. |

If you lose four corners, resign |

Corners
are the best place for building a

You are unlikely to win. The corners
