PATTERN SIX<br />

The small knight enclosure is<br />

supposed to guarantee the corner<br />

territory, but what happens when<br />

White has stones close up on both<br />

sides?<br />

Dia. 1 (invasion). The contact play of 1 is the vital point. Note<br />

that attaching at 3 instead is not effective: Black answers at 1. Black<br />

must play 2, but White 3 enables White to live in the corner.<br />

Dia. 2 (usurping territory). Connecting solidly at 1 is the most<br />

sensible move. With 2 to 8, White robs Black of the corner territory<br />

in sente. The two white stones on the outside play a necessary and<br />

effective role.<br />
