White 18: This fuseki was played by Kitani and Go Seigen. Black
could have played 17 at the central star point. After white 18, black
invades white’s moyo. Usually White would let Black get a small live
position and white would get outer influence, which would enable him
to reduce Black’s moyo.

White 20: A very severe move, taking away black’s base. This move
is not joseki, but is reasonable as this is an even game.

MARK A@f4 #20
COM
White 22: White 20 and 22 are both interesting moves. The left side
of the board looks like a large handicap game. When black attacks
White’s position. White makes the most aggressive move he can. If
he played 20 at 24(A) for instance black would find it easy to live and
the game would be over. Moves such as 20 and 22 are not
recommended for use in a 9-stone game - they are too
aggressive and lead to an early fight.

COM
White 62: It all depends on whether Black can get his group (61, 55
etc.) out to safety or not. If he can, then White’s group 38, 40, 42
becomes very weak indeed.
