| 1. | B 14. This move is really “Go te”; that is to say, White is not forced to reply toit, but it is very advantageous for Black, as it effectively separates White’s twostones. | 2. | C 14. C 15 is not so good. |
| 3. | B 15. The white stone at B 16 is now hopeless. | ||
Black has given up the “Sente,” but has gained considerable ground. [[195]]

[Plate 36] (D)
The following stones are on the board: Black, C 4, D 4, E 4, C 7; White, C 3, D 3, E 3, F 3.
Black has the move.
| Black | White | ||
| 1. | B 3. | 2. | B 2. |
| 3. | B 4. | ||
These moves seem obvious, but the importance of Black’s opportunity is likely to be underestimated; Black gains about eleven “Me” by this play. If the opposing lines extend one space nearer the edge of the board, the territory gained by a similar attack is not nearly so great.
