After black 2 both framework links can be connected but this time the boundary is better. A white stone played at A would be answered by a black stone at C necessitating a further white stone at B, thus losing the initiative. So instead it is correct to imagine a white stone at B answered by a black stone at A. This would clearly be two points better for Black and two points worse for White i.e. a swing of four points to Black compared with the previous diagram. |
