THE GAME OF GO

White

Black

5. R 15.

6. R 16.

7. O 3.

8. R 10. Formerly in such a case as this Black played at R 7. This move replied to White's move at O 3 and at the same time from a distance attacked White's stones at R 14 and R 15. It is better to confine the last two stones by the text move.

9. P 13.

10. R 12.

11. Q 15.

12. P 15.

13. R 13.

14. P 16.

15. N 13.

16. P 10. This move is better than R 7.

17. R 3.

18. R 4. This move is better than Q 3, which although it cuts off O 3 and R 3 would leave Black's stone at R 10 weak.

19. Q 3.

20. P 4.

21. P 3.

22. N 5.

23. L 17.

24. G 17.

25. O 17.

26. N 16.

27. P 18.

28. Q 18. Black is quite satisfied to have merely the necessary two "Me" in this corner, because he has a much larger territory to the left.

29. J 17.

30. C 10.

31. Q 6.

32. O 4.

33. M 4. This move is better than O 7 because Black could follow at N 3 in that case. Q 6 is a "Sute ishi" or sacrificed stone. It has the effect of forcing Black to play 34 O 8, and later on will help

34. O8.
