Handicap
Black is supposed to have stones at O 4 and Q 4 also; these are called “Shiki ishi.”
| White | Black | ||
| 1. | F 3. “Kogeima.” | 2. | H 3. By this move Black at once attacks the white stone and also prepares to connectwith the stone at O 4. |
| 3. | F 5. White must get out towards the middle of the board. | 4. | L 3. “Tenuki”; that is, it has nothing to do with the corner in dispute; Black feelshe has an opportunity to take territory. It is interesting to note that if the “Shikiishi” at O 4 were at N 3, then Black would play No. 4 at H 5. |
| 5. | D 6. White attacks the handicap stone. | 6. | D 2. This is an important defensive move. |
| 7. | E 2. | 8. | B 5. Black tries to escape. |
| 9. | B 6. | 10. | C 6. |
| 11. | C 5. C 7 would be good also. | 12. | C 7.[[128]] |

| 15. | C 4. | 16. | C 3. |
| 17. | B 7. | 18. | C 8. |
| 19. | E 6. White must support stone at D 6. | 20. | A 5. This is a very well considered move for Black. |
| 21. | A 4. | 22. | B 3. |
| 23. | A 6. Takes two. | 24. | B 8. |
| 25. | A 3. The corner is now an example of “Semeai”; the question is which side can killthe other first. | 26. | B 2. |
| 27. | A 2. | 28. | B 1. |
| 29. | D 1. | 30. | A 8. If Black plays at C 1, the corner will become “Seki,” as it is, the white groupis dead. |
Black has much the best of this variation.
