The fifth point on a diagonal is very popular in the opening. This section reveals
some of the implications of a simple block, a move that snatches one of the sides away
from an opponent's stone on a diagonal. The scenario at the top is fairly straightforward.

of escape if white starts pushing along the o-line.
