Here, you will learn some practical techniques needed when you start a real game.
You are black, as always.
White put a stone very close to you - this move is called a "touch".
How should you respond to the touch?
In this case, the black's move shown in the below is good.
This move is decresing the white stone's liberties from 3 to 2.
Doesn't it seem like slapping the white stone's cheek?
Attack the attacker!
Continuing from the above, if white played somewhere else like E7, black
can continue attacking the white stone as below. Now E4 stone is in Atari
- with one more move, you can capture it.
Continuing from the first figure, if black doesn't respond to white's touch and played somewhere else like F7, how would white play?
Then, white will keep attacking the black by slapping the black's side.
Can you see the black E3 is in trouble?
Finally, it's time to practice.
White has just touched your stone.
There are two right answers. Find both of them!
Isn't it just too easy?
