「善勝敵者不爭,善陣者不戰,善戰者不敗,善敗者不亂」 Mini Go Workshop | Montréal | 2009 夏季 囲 碁 Summer 2009 An excerpt of points discussed during the workshop are summarized for ulterior study and enjoyment ~ Go Proverbs: Wisdom That Extends Beyond The Goban BASIC GO 101 THE LADDER A rather simple capturing strategy, it is of utmost importance to understand this concept and its implications thoroughly. This includes an accurate reading for White (W) and strategical positioning to fully exploit the potential of a dead group for Black (B). This means B can gain one consecutive move elsewhere by threatening to bringing life to the surrounded black stones. CREATING LIFE 2 eyes live, 1 eye dies. Although this is not absolute (in particular circumstances, a group can live with 1 or even no eyes), even the strongest players strive for eyes at an early stage to ensure life, especially when weak groups are involved. Creating eyes is a very straight- forward concept, yet thousands of variations make it necessary to recognize good and bad shapes to solve tsumego (life-and-death problems). Tsumego problems range from very simple to extremely complex: they are regular matter of discussions among go enthusiasts in East Asia.
