Although people say fuseki research all goes to AI variants nowadays, but pros are still experimenting with creative fusekis. So I would like to start a post where people can share new fusekis
I will just start with a fuseki that has a “funny name” - the Shite opening. (the naming is not meant to be a joke, the inventor’s name just happened to be Niu Shite). Its key feature is the move 5 into the center, and sort of a countermeasure to prevent complex 3-3 joseki like the flying knife/dagger, or even old ones like Taisha.
The star point variant of the Shite opening against flying knife
It has been tried on real pro games and even got a pretty good win rate. And if anyone can read Chinese, here is the link to a discussion thread on yigo with variations of it
