A professional I-dan 4s usually about two stones strongérghan an hmiateur 6-dan, See ky double atarr — giving atari to two different |groups of stones at the same time, “eye = a point on the board which is surrounded by stones of the _-same.color. t — ashape in which your stone is captured [but it is illegal to retake the captunng stone-even fiibugh you can occ! ipy all of its liberties, 3yiu —.a rank given to players to indicate thdir'srength at the game. Begitiners are. arbitrarily classified at 30-kyu; and as they become “stroriger, the numerical value of their kyu decreases. For example, 15-kyu is stronger than 20-kyu. See dan, ototoshi — a move which gives atari to a group of stones in such 2 way ”~that no matter how one defends, the group will'still be in atan, ‘Sekt —"an impasse or stalemate position between groups: if one side stnes'to attack the other side’s group, his| own group 1s put into “atan and dies, Therefore, neither side can atlack or attempt to atari, smapback — a tactic in which one stone 1s offred as a sacrifice and if {tis taken, the capturing stones are an turn captuced.€ oo PART ONE, | 7 .
