Guzumi at Top Right (2007 - 2009)

Advantages of the Guzumi for Black

:
This guzumi wins for Black.

Advantages of the guzumi for Black are:

  • Black can reduce White's corner territory in sente, without simultaneously losing liberties of his top right group, because the guzumi threatens two eyes now.
  • A tenuki leads to sometimes very complicated variations, and will probably be not successful for White.
  • If White does not want to capture Black's centre group, she suddenly has to worry about the life of three of her groups, which enclose the hanezeki's tail.
