the four corner opening
Posted: Sat Jan 27, 2018 8:58 am
Hi all,
I am experimenting (with not that bad results) the following opening that I called "The four corner opening".
Of course this is not meant to be a novelty for dan players, but it's interesting against mid single digit kyu: my aim is to steal in sente white's corners in alpha go style and then invade the center. Here the first moves:
I experimented other variations with black triangled stones in the final position both at 3-4 or 3-4 and 3-3 but NEVER on 4-4. Now 2 questions:
1) What do you think about it? Is this opening playable in the range of 5k-8k?
2) can you show me some short variations that you wolud play as white in the final position?
Thanks!
