If you could only play a single kind of move in the first two moves for the rest of your life, what would you choose?

It applies to both when you play black and when you play white. No mixing of combinations is allowed. For example, if you choose 4-4, you can only play 4-4 for the first two moves and can’t play a mixture of 4-4 and 4-3.

Orientation can be varied for non-symmetrical moves, such as 4-3 and diagonal openings are also allowed.

  • Hoshi (4-4)
  • Komoku (4-3)
  • 3-3
  • Mokuhazushi (5-3)
  • Takamoku (5-4)
  • Others

I’d play a komoku because I still feel it the most balanced although it gives a direction of play for my opponent.
