Go – Proverbs

  • 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)
  • 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
