Identifying the weakest framework stone - principles |
||||||
The formal definition of "the weakest framework stone" is that framework stone that is easiest for the opponent to isolate. This begs the question as to what the factors are that lead to potential isolation. And having identified the factors, a more difficult question arises as to how to combine the factors in order to make comparisons. Luckily the practice is simpler than the theory, because at any one stage of the game, normally the difference between candidate stones is uncomplicated. |
