Assunto: general starting strategies

first choice : stay close to your opponent to prevent him from claiming too much territory

other option : create your own territory away from him

i think its a bad thing to start with a piece on the border as it can be captured easily (force it into the corner) ... but what about a piece 1 position away from the corner, is that a good start ?

is it better to try to claim territory or to focus on capturing your opponents stones ?

Assunto: Re: general starting strategies

Hrqls: To surround territory is better: you can get more points with less stones.

In the beginning: claim a empty corner on the 3th or 4th line. Moves on the 1st and 2nd line are nearly always bad untill the endgame.

When attacking a stone you are one move behind, so that's a dangerous strategy.

And: opponents are allowed to have territory also, but not more than you have
