[Plate 35] (A)
The following stones are on the board: White, S 15, R 14, P 14, L 17; Black, R 16, Q 16, N 15, N 17.
If White has the “Sente,” he gains eight “Me,” counting together what he wins and Black loses.
| White | Black | ||
| 1. | S 17. This is White’s only good move; S 16 does not take advantage [[189]]of the opportunity, and he cannot risk S 18. | 2. | S 16. If Black had had the move or “Sente,” he could have [[189]]avoided White’s invasion by playing here.[[190]] |
| 3. | T 16. An instance of “Watari.” | 4. | R 17. |
| 5. | S 18. White cannot venture to play at R 18. | 6. | R 18. If Black neglects this, White would jump to Q 18. |
White retains the “Sente.”
