Yes. Understand what is in a go proverb.

Only if you’re black… it’s fine if white takes or sacrifices all four corners :wink:

A sure win is 4 corners and the center

I heard so too. Is it because of komi or because white is traditionally the stronger player?

Yeah, essentially this.

It loosely translates to…

  • If black gets all 4 corners, it’s because white (the stronger player) sealed them in to obtain a superior position on the outside
  • If white gets all 4 corners, it’s because black (the weaker player) failed to defend them properly

Either way, it essentially means if one player gets everything they ask for while meeting little resistance, resignation is usually a pretty reasonable option for the player being led around.

Of course like all proverbs they have some basis in truth but are also filled with exceptions :stuck_out_tongue:
