Lesson Two

Here is another lesson from youtuber GoPlayGo on how to invade a corner. Instead of a 4-4 fuseki, he assumes this time that your opponent plays a 3-4 technique in the corner. The approach is very similar.



What is fascinating is the concept of joseki. Go is a zero sum game. I claim territory to the his detriment or vice versa. In joseki battles, I think I've been getting greedy. I move in behind the stone and try to claim it all. I should use more knight's approaches like these he uses and try to carve out corners that are good for both but better for me. Perhaps find a Nash Equilibrium in the corner. No wonder he liked this game...
