a simple stretch (nobi) tends to gain (at least) one liberty in sente (in a capt

Since the opponent may be able to play at the point himself and thus remove a li
berty while preventing you from gaining one, it is usually important to play the
se stretches before rushing to remove the opponent's liberties. Also, it is impo
