Other moves can be called unsuccesful fuseki experiments.];B[cn]LB[fq:a][cj:b][qh:c]C[Unexpected move. Yoda usually plays a. Yoda has his own views about this situation. The standard moves are b or c, but Yoda has almost never plays them. Opening theory is flexible, this move has been played quite frequently in China.];W[fq]LB[cl:a]C[Normal response, white a is also common.];B[cf]LB[bp:a]C[Another unexpected move, and quite a challenge. Cho thought a long time about his reply. In Game 1 of previous years' Meijin Final against Rin Kaiho, Yoda played the more usual a (and won). Of course Cho knew about that game. ];W[fc]LB[dj:a][di:b][dh:c]C[Other choices were a-c. ] ;B[dj]LB[ch:a][cl:b]C[Almost the only move, but leaves invasion points a and b open for white to use.];W[qm]LB[qg:a]C[Another option was a (R13).
