Handicap
[Plate 21] (A)
| White | Black | ||
| 1. | M 17. “Daidaigeima”; not so much used as the other attacks. | 2. | O 17. Black defends the corner from that side. |
| 3. | R 14. “Kogeima.” White attacks from the other side. | 4. | S 16. Black again prevents the advance into the corner. |
| 5. | P 16. White threatens the connection between the handicap stone and No. 2, otherwiseBlack would play at R 12, with the advantage. | 6. | P 15. P 17 looks like the obvious defense, but this would shut Black in the cornerand give White the better game. |
| 7. | P 17. | 8. | Q 17. |
| 9. | O 16. | 10. | P 18. |
| 11. | O 18. | 12. | O 15.[[136]] |
| 13. | N 16. Much better than immediately taking the single black stone. | 14. | Q 13. This attacks the white stone at R 14; it also defends the connection at Q 15. |
| 15. | R 12. Much better than R 13; in that case White would lose both stones. | 16. | R 13. |
| 17. | S 13. | 18. | Q 14. |
Black has the better of it.
