THE FAVOURABLEST FUSEKI STRATEGIC #1 SERIES

Hello, im here to write about my favourite fuseki as black. Above u see it - glorious is it not?? It is simple but blak have a devious plan. Here, i'll show u!!

Here it is! W feels induced to appraoch inside the 5-3. But its his downfall!! 9 make efficiejnt mountain shape on bottom, and the pincer hurts. w cannot settle 8 without helping black more tehan he help himself! game victory!


In this variation, u see black gain a large amount of profit in the corner (w/ hane onto 4th line - a bonus!!)/. Conversely white have to make uncomfortable extension to 16 for unsatisfying settled life, and the b extension in bottom left has light, flexible shape. its up 2 u wehterh to settle it immediately, or tenuki (sometime i make big shimari in top right toward w hoshi - it has satisfying territory feel)


Here is other vairation - white play 1 to avoid dismal result of before, but settle in corner simple leave him feeling tight. now b could make shimari top right (as b4), or approach other corner, or even jump 1 space from move 2 in diagram to make powerful "tower" shape that joins all him stones. for sure, any choice b makes leaves him better off than white!

The fairey tale come to an end. In go thjeres is no magic bullet. W/ clever approach of 1, b have no choice but to take corner and allow w satisfying life shape. I like to make big shaimari in top right next! its still a nice fuseki for black i feel. but w is not unhappy neihter.

w may pincer the approach here for possibly more palatable game. b take shimari (altho flexible, the focus in this fuseki was profit anyway), and now w can choose any number of move.. is popular to extend 2 space from 1 (then b jump to corner, or double approach, to emphasize territory), also to attack on top of pincered stone - b can live immediately (for super territory!!!) or can play elsewhere. i love to make big shimari whenever i get chance :)

Anyways thats this fuseki for today. In next post i address my faovurite strategy as white. See u later!!
