− | :Re5. This forks the two topmost black stones, allows the queen to attack one black and to develop, and in addition keeps the two eyes on d3 and e2, ensuring that white continues to live. Dominique. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.150.106|172.69.150.106]] 15:33, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

− | I have to say, Black's position is extremely unusual for Go. The two uppermost stones are on 4-4 and 3-4 (counted from the edge of the board as 1). A 4-4 opening invites a corner invasion, which could be a disaster in a 9x9 game, especially if your opponent has another corner. A one stone handicap is pretty common, as this would just mean playing without komi (the few points white gets to counter black's advantage for going first). Playing on the handicap points (3-3 in 9x9, and 4-4 in 19x19) are usually considered just decent starting points, apart form their use in handicapped games. Of course, there are many different openings, especially in even games, so there's plenty of different moves to play. But 4-4 in 9x9 still seems exceedingly unusual.

− | ::I figured that the 3-4 move was black's first, and the remaining moves were in response to white (where the 4-4 was to shore up the left side of the board). That said, I generally play on 19x19 and play rather poorly, so I'd trust your judgement over mine. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.15|108.162.219.15]] 18:48, 8 November 2013 (UTC) -TauCeti

− | It's interesting to note that in Japan, Go vs Shogi (a Japanese variant of chess) is not uncommon, however the game is played on a Shogi board, and the go stones are placed in the squares, rather than on the intersections. {{unsigned ip|199.27.130.174}}
