| 1. | H 3. | 2. | F 3. |
| 3. | C 6. | 4. | C 5. This is an alternative method of defending the corner. |
| 5. | D 6. | 6. | F 5. Black plays to avoid being shut in the corner, also it can be demonstrated ifhe neglects this move his stones will be killed. |
| 7. | F 6. | 8. | H 4. |
| 9. | J 4. | 10. | H 5. |
| 11. | G 3. | 12. | F 2. This is a good move. F 4 would be weak. The text move defends and at the same time threatens White’s stones on line 3. F 4 would giveWhite a chance to play elsewhere (“Tenuki”) which is a great advantage. |
| 13. | J 3. | 14. | E 5. Black cannot neglect this move, or White can break in with a winning attack. |
Again Black has the better of it. He has a chance to [[138]]play at J 1 on the next move. The relation of this stone to the stone at F 2 when at the edge of the board is called “Ozaru,” or the “great monkey,” and it generally gains about eight spaces. This is also shown among the examples of end positions.
