Fuseki
In the opening theory of the game of Go , the Fuseki ( Japanese 布 石 ) describes the phase of the game in which, mostly starting from the corners, the areas are initially loosely defined. In Fuseki theory, the entire position or at least half of the board is considered.
In contrast to Jōsekis , Fuseki's full-board patterns are far less explored. Such games quickly turn into unknown variants. Here, too, as with Jōsekis, only a few openings have known names. Examples are the three-star opening ( 三 連 星 , sanrensei ), the two-star opening ( 二連 星, nirensei ) and the Chinese opening ( 中国 流 , Chūgoku-ryū ). More precisely, these are more like names for the structure of the black stones on one side of the board; White can choose between at least two dozen formations on the other side. The Chinese opening, which has an intricate history, was actually developed by the Chinese and has been a very popular opening since 1970, the theory of which is comparatively advanced.
