CHO HUNHYUN'SRIGHT WAY TO GO

Part 12Instead of trying to win every game, I think

one should try his best to make good plays andcreate game records that one can be proud of.In our lives, we are constantly faced with theopportunity of going the right way. Likewise, inthe game of Go, the opportunity to make theright play appears at every turn. Life isbeautiful and so is Go.

Cho Hunhyun

Black to play - There are still a lot of bigterritorial points left on the board, but whiteelects to invade at 1 on the right. A lot ofbeginners make the mistake of invading into theopponents territorial frameworks during thefuseki stage. However, to handle thisunreasonable invasion timely and effectively isno simple matter. What is blacks mostappropriate tactic for attacking white?

Diagram 1 - Failure Blacks jump to 1expands blacks framework on the upper right.However, after white jumps out to 2 and 4, itsa pity black can no longer attack white. Is therea better tactic for a more severe attack andtaking the initiative.

Diagram 2 - Similar Result Blackdiagonally jumps to 1, hoping white will extendto A and black will hane at B. Blacks plan failswhen white knight jumps to 2. The sequencethrough 4 is similar to the previous diagramsresult, however, here whites pace is one step

ahead of black.

Diagram 3 - A Reckless AttachmentBlacks attachment at 1 is another tactic forattacking white. Whites hane at 2 andextension at 4 brilliantly counters blacksattack. Although black can trap a white stoneby cutting at A, a white atari at B will leaveblack with nothing. Generally speaking,attachments are not effective attacking tactics.

Blacks cap at 1 is another common attackingtactic. However, white plays sente at 2 and 4,

and runs towards the center at 6. Blacks attackcannot keep up with white and achieves nothing.

GO STORIESPart 4

Suddenly Losing CoolOver Losing Weiqi

Go lovers will tell you that the attractivepower of Go is not less than that of money,wine or sex. People who are gentle and laidback may suddenly become rude and aggressiveon the Go board. A lot of people in history

were composed and gentle, but not when theywere fighting a ko on the board. There werecountless examples of weird stories thathappened on the Go board. Because of this, afamous poet in the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Maywrote in one of his poems, Suddenly losing coolover losing Weiqi The thought of these wellcomposed famous people in history losing theircool over a game is quite funny.

It was mentioned inNan Shi- Ji Gao Di Ben Ji(Biography of Emperor Ji Gao Di of theSouthern Kingdom), Emperor Ji Gao Di (479-502 A.D.) was very good in Go. His strengthwas 2 pin (Note that the pin system is still usedin Taiwan. Nowadays, a 2 pin is about 8 dan in

professional strength, and a 1 pin is 9 dan.However, whether the ancient ranking system isequivalent to that of today is not clear. GoSeigen once commented on a Chinese player,Huang LongShi of the Qing Dynasty; if Huangwere alive today, he would be 13 dan!) Anyrate, Emperor Ji Gao Di loved to play Go with ageneral called Zhou Fu. General Zhou was a bigGo fan and was totally absorbed in the Go gamewhile he was at it. One day, while playing agame with Emperor Ji Gao Di, the emperormade a bad play and tried to retrieve it. Zhoufrantically grabbed onto the Emperors wrist andwouldnt let go, not letting him to take back hisplay. Zhou actually forgot that he was playingagainst the Emperor. (Note: Chinese Emperorsin history were regarded as of divine nature; theChinese word for Emperor actually means Sonof Heaven. Thus touching an Emperor couldresult in a death penalty, not to mentiongrabbing on the Emperors wrist and refusing tolet go.) After the game, it must have sent coldchills up Zhous spine when thinking about thisincident. On the other hand, Emperor Ji Gao Dimust also be a righteous person not to punishZhou for showing no respect for his kingship.

Stories like this are both interesting and funny,thus they have been passed on from onegeneration to the other. Although funny, theoutcome might have been a sad one if EmperorJi Gao Di was also absorbed in the game like

Zhou. There was another story in which theEmperor had confused the issue about killingstones and killing a person, because he was

mesmerized in the game of Go. Emperor LiangWu Di (502-557 A.D.) was crazy about Go asdescribed in XiYang ZaZu- Fu XiuZhi. Therewas a famous and knowledgeable monk calledthe Kowtow Monk, whom the Emperorrespected very much and summoned him oftento chat with him. One day, Kowtow Monk paida visit to the palace when the Emperor wasplaying Go with an official. The Emperorsurrounded a big group of stones on the boardand was so excited that he yelled, Kill! All ofa sudden, guards rushed into the palace, seizedthe Kowtow Monk and executed him outside thepalace gate. Unfortunately, the Emperor was soabsorbed in the game that he didnt even knowwhat had transpired. After the game, heremembered the monk and summoned him. TheEmperors guards reported to him that themonk was executed per his order, and theEmperor regretted deeply. On the other hand,Kowtow Monk didnt know why he wasexecuted, and thought that it was the judgementfor killing an earthworm when he was young.

The talk of retribution is nonsense. The monkshould put the blame on the Emperor, who wastoo absorbed in the game to rescue his life.After chasing his opponents stones around theboard, the word kill! was half way out of the

Emperors mouth already. It would have beenokay if it did not involve the life of a humanbeing. Actually, the conduct of the Emperorwasnt too bad besides the yelling part. As far asbad conduct is concerned, a good example isWang AnShi of Bei Song (960-1026 A.D.). Asrecorded by Fan ZhengMin in TunJiXianLan,Wang often made impulsive plays when playingWeiqi. However, when he saw that the gamewas not going his way, he would wipe all thestones off the board with his sleeve and say,One plays Weiqi to relax, and might as wellforget the game if one has to concentrate andwaste so much effort. Wang was the PrimeMinister of the Song Dynasty. Prime Ministers

are known for having big hearts. There is aChinese saying, the heart of a Prime Minister isso big that one can sail a boat in it. However,its a different story while playing Go.

An interesting point is that people who losetheir cool in playing Go can be classified intotwo categories, those who did it in style andthose who did it with no class. People who didit in style got their names into the history book,while people who did it with no class becamelaughing stocks.

GO ANAPPLICATION OF

THE PRINCIPLES OFWAR

Part 12Excerpts from Go Notes by Craig R. Hutchinson

THE MISSION

What is the Mission? Where am I going? In anutshell this mission statement is a restatementof the Objective principle provided in Go Winds1.2.

In playing go one must keep in mind what theobjective is. The objective is to have at the endof the contest a larger total of stones andliberties on the board than your opponent(Chinese scoring). To accomplish this objective,there are primary and secondary strategical andtactical missions in the beginning, middle, andend stage of the contest for each stone placedon the board.

BEGINNING STAGE In the beginning stageBases, Links, and Walls are constructed with

one of three primary strategical missions: 1 -Territory, 2 - Influence, or 3 -Territory/Influence Combined. Is thedeployment of your stones into Bases, Links,and Walls for immediate territory or forinfluence to acquire territory during the middlestage? The initial points selected for occupationin the corners and their relationship with pointsin other corners and sides should be consistentwith your chosen overall board strategy. The

Mini Fuseki Encyclopedia book by the NihonKiin, soon to be published in English byYutopian Enterprises, will help you understandthe relationships of the corner points in theopening stage for initial territory and influencestrategies.

In the beginning stage there are a number ofprimary tactical missions for creating the Bases,Links, and Walls: Threaten or Succeed tolocally Establish for your stones or Destroyfor your opponents stones: 1 - Liberties/Life,2 - Connection/Mobility; 3 -Potential/Influence; 4 - Territory. Thesubsequent tactics applied in the joseki chosen ineach of the corners or sides should be consistentwith the chosen beginning stage strategy ofterritory, influence, or territory/influencecombined. In addition to the Joseki bookscurrently published in English, the Mini 4-4 and3-3 Joseki Encyclopedia andMini 3-4, 3-5, and4-5 Joseki Encyclopedia by the Nihon Kiin soon
