Black has a handicap of four stones.
| White | Black | ||
| 1. | R 14. | 2. | Q 14. |
| 3. | Q 13. | 4. | P 14.[[164]] |
| 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’smove at O 3 and at the same time from a distance attacked White’s stones at R 14 andR 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 leaveBlack’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 play34 O 8, and later on will help [[165]]still further to narrow down Black’s territory. At the same time every attack on theBlack position from the outside would be made more effective by the presence of thisstone. Possibly it could also be used later in “Ko.” Black makes his 36th, 38th and40th moves in order to secure his position which is weakened by the presence of thewhite stone at Q 6. | 34. | O 8.[[165]] |
| 35. | F 3. | 36. | M 5. |
| 37. | L 4. | 38. | L 5. |
| 39. | K 5. | 40. | K 6. |
| 41. | J 5. | 42. | F 4. |
| 43. | G 4. | 44. | E 3. |
| 45. | F 5. | 46. | E 4. |
| 47. | G 3. | 48. | D 7. |
| 49. | R 18. Beginners would play at S 16 or Q 17. | 50. | P 17. |
| 51. | O 18. | 52. | Q 19. |
