THE GAME OF GO

X

Plate 37 (B)

The following stones are on the board: White, M 3, O 3, P 2, Q 3, R 2; Black, N 4, O 4, Q 5, R 3, R 4.

White has the move.

White

Black

1. S 2.

This move is really "Go te," but if Black neglects to answer it, White can then jump to T 5. This jump is called by a special name "O zaru," or the "big monkey," and would gain about eight "Me" for White.


XI

Plate 37 (C)

The following stones are on the board: White, C 15, D 15, E 15, 16; Black, C 16, D 16, E 17, 18, F 16, G 17.

White has the move.

White

Black

1. B 16.

2. B 17.

3. B 15.

White has given up the "Sente" and has gained somewhat, but if Black now neglects to defend and plays elsewhere, White can jump to B 18, and gain about seventeen "Me" altogether.


XII

Plate 37 (D)

The following stones are on the board: White, B 8, C 7, 11, D 5, 6, 7, E 6; Black, B 7, C 5, 6, D 3, 4, E 4, 5.
