+ − 45 The SWOT Analysis of this position is as follows:<br><br>
+ − 46 <strong>Black:</strong><br><br>
+ − 47 <strong>Strengths:</strong><br><br>
+ − 48 - The Black upper left corner is not fully enclosed, and can easily make 2 eyes if needed. (Although B53 might be ataried and captured by White, doing that would be Gote
+ − 49 and wouldn’t affect the main Black group’s viability, so it’s not important enough to be played any time soon.)<br><br>
+ − 50 - The B3-45 lower right side/corner can almost certainly make 2 eyes if needed, although all of the territory there isn’t Black’s yet because it’s still quite open to a White invasion.<br><br>
+ − 51 - B25 can either connect to the strong Black group above or to the one on the right, so it’s safe for now.<br><br>
+ − 52
+ − 53 - The B5-49 group has good shape, easy center access and some territorial potential, so it, too, is safe for now.<br><br>
+ − 54 - B1, B51 are in the corner, with no nearby opposing stones.<br><br>
+ − 55 - B27 has good relationship to B1, B51, plus room to extend on either side or jump to the center if needed.<br><br>

+ − 63 <strong>Weaknesses:</strong><br>
+ − 64 - No real weaknesses!<br>
+ − 65 <strong>Opportunities:</strong><br>
+ − 66 - Attack the still unsettled White center group from the right, in order to build moyo/make territory on the right side.<br>
+ − 67 - Expand/consolidate the B1,27,51 area.<br>
+ − 68 - Extend on the third line to the left from B27.<br>
+ − 69
+ − 70 - Enclose some territory in the lower left center.<br>
+ − 71 <strong>Threats:</strong><br>
+ − 72 <strong>- Black:</strong><br>
+ − 73 - A White invasion is feasible in both the upper and lower right corners.<br>
+ − 74 - The B5-49 group is still unsettled.<br>
+ − 75 <strong>Settled Territory:</strong><br>
+ − 76 - Perhaps 10 points in the upper left corner + 10 points in the lower right. Total = 20 points.<br>
+ − 77
+ − 78 <strong>Territorial Potential:</strong><br>
+ − 79 - Another move in the upper right corner will nail down at least 15-20 points immediately, with prospects of still more to follow when White tries to prevent Black’s further expansion.<br>
+ − 80 - A move near the star point on the right side should bring substantial profit either above or below.<br>
+ − 81 <br><br>
+ − 82
+ − 83 <strong>- White:</strong><br>
+ − 84 <strong>Strengths</strong><br>
+ − 85 - The W2-54 group is very thick and has good shape.<br>
+ − 86
+ − 87 - The W4-32 lower left corner is almost absolutely secure.<br>
+ − 88 <strong>Weaknesses</strong><br>
+ − 89 - The 11 stone W28-50 center group has only rudimentary shape and is only open above and to the right, although it technically isn’t enclosed within Black Sector Lines.<br>
+ − 90 <strong>Opportunities</strong><br>
+ − 91 - Invade between B1 and 27.<br>
+ − 92 - Invade the right side and use the center group to hopefully make a significant White territory in that area. (Dangerous!)<br>
+ − 93 - Try to build moyo in the lower right center, using the W28-50 group.<br>
+ − 94
+ − 95 - Create a moyo by extending from the upper left group to its right.<br>
+ − 96 - Expand into the open area in the left middle, making some White territory there while minimizing Black’s.<br>
+ − 97 <strong>Threats</strong><br>
+ − 98 - The big lower right center group has no eyes and is less than solidly thick, so it needs the most careful watching!<br>
+ − 99 - The W2-54 group’s thickness might be neutralized without adequate compensation.<br>
+ − 100 <strong>Settled Territory</strong><br>
+ − 101 - About 15 points in the lower left corner + about 3 points in the upper left. Total = 18 points.<br>
+ − 102
+ − 103 <strong>Territorial Potential</strong><br>
+ − 104 - Extending from the upper left group could net about 15 points.<br>
+ − 105 - Making proper use of the center stones to invade the right side should net some profit, but at the moment it’s hard to estimate how much.<br>
+ − 106 <strong>The main focus of play now</strong> will be on White’s twin major detriments:<br>
+ − 107 - The big weak W30-50 lower right center group. Black will at least harass these weak stones and attempt to kill them if possible (highly unlikely, as things now stand),
+ − 108 or use that attack to either make territory elsewhere (especially on the right side) and/or prevent White from so doing.<br>
+ − 109 - White is far behind in settled territory, and must redress that balance before it’s too late!<br>
