Necessary because the connection at C 5 is now in immediate danger, but Black thereby fills up another of his “Vle,” and White retains the “Sente.” V Plate 36 (A) The following stones are on the board: White, M 16, M 17, M 18, N 16, 0) 15, P 14, R 14; Black, N 17, N 18, O 16, P 16, Q 16, R 16.

C 15 is not so good. “Go te”; that is to say, White is not forced to reply to it, but it is very advantageous for Black, as it effectively separates White's two stones. 3. B 15. The white stone B 16 is now hopeless. Black has given up the “Sente,” but has gained considerable ground. at VIII Plate 36 (D) The following stones are on the board: Black, C4, D 4, E 4, C 7; White, C 3, D3, E3, F 3. Black has the move. These moves seem obvious, but the importance of Black’s opportunity is likely to be underestimated; Black gains about eleven “Me” by this play. If the opposing lines extend one space nearer the edge of the board, the territory gained by a similar attack is not nearly so great.
