| 1. | P 17. “Moku hadzushi”; not so much used as the other two openings. [[151]]It is more conservative than “Takamoku.” | 2. | Q 15. This is called “Takamoku kakari”; it is one of the two [[151]]general methods of replying to “Moku hadzushi.”[[152]] |
| 3. | R 16. Black plays to secure the corner. | 4. | R 15. |
| 5. | S 16. The corner is now safe. | 6. | R 11. S 15 would be good also. |
Even game.
