The Ultimate 3-Star Formation Guide (From 15 Kyu to 6 Dan)

The 3-Star Formation (Sanrensei) is legendary. It’s the opening of choice for players who want to build massive frameworks, dictate the flow of the game, and force their opponents into a fighting game.

But is it just a beginner strategy? Absolutely yes and no.

In this video, I break down the 3-Star Formation level by level. Whether you are a 15 Kyu trying to build your first moyo or a 6 Dan looking for the nuances of modern AI variations, this guide covers the entire spectrum. We look at how to expand, how to handle invasions, how to develop post joseki, leveraging our influence and how to turn that influence into territory.

In this video, we cover:

The Setup: Why the 3-Star creates a different kind of game.

The Basics (15k - 1k): Proper extensions and framing.

Advanced Tactics (Dan Level): Handling invasions within a Sanrensei framework, future developments as well as middle game ideas.
