Rh

The following stones are on the board: Black, C 4, D 4, E 4, C 7; White, C 3, D 3, E 3, F 3.

Black has the move.

1. B3.

2. B2.

3. B4.

These moves seem obvious, but the importance of Black's opportunity is likely to be underestimated; Black gains about eleven "Me" by this play. If the opposing lines extend one space nearer the edge of the board, the territory gained by a similar attack is not nearly so great.

The following stones are on the board: White, M 16, N 16, N 18, O 17, P 18, Q 17, 18; Black, N 15, O 15, 16, P 16, 17, Q 16, R 12, R 17.

White has the move.

1. S 17.

2. S 16.

3. R 18.

4. R 16.

5. T 18.

White has given up the "Sente," but these moves make a difference in his favor of about fourteen "Me."
