Handicap

Black is supposed to have stones at O 4 and Q 4 also; these are called "Shiki ishi."

Black

1. F 3 . "Kogeima."

2. H 3. By this move Black at once attacks the white stone and also prepares to connect with 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 feels he has an opportunity to take territory. It is interesting to note that if the "Shiki ishi" 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.
