Go – Proverbs

General

• Approach from the wider side. (In the opening)
• Corner is gold, side is silver, center is grass.
• Don’t attach to weak stones.
• Drive your opponent toward your strength.
• Four die but six live. (On the third line)
• Hane at the head of 2 stones. (While attacking, not defending)
• High move (4th line) for influence, low move (3rd line) for territory.
• Leave room for an extension. (With an invasion)
• Make territory while attacking.
• Play away from thickness.
• Six die but eight live. (On the second line)
• The enemy’s key point is yours.
• Two-space extension on the third line cannot be cut.
• Urgent points before big points.
• You only have one weak group. Your other weak groups are dead.

Personal

• Never finish a lost fight. (Maybe you can use your left stones later.)
