Go Memes! 🧐

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:

Basic ideas is to be careful to get some corners but not only, and that’s good advice especially toward new players.

My mother had a large button collection and often used it to fix our old clothes. (My parents both grew up in the Great Depression. Nothing was thrown away.) I too have a small button collection and have used it a couple times to replace a button.
