![]() This rule ensures black surewin aswell, however white player begins the game from a smaller disadvantage. The first move of the starting player (black) is compulsory to be put to the middle intersection of the board (H8). Then the second player (white) can put the second stone anywhere on the board. The 3rd move must be put outside a 7x7 square. The centre of the square is the first black stone on H8. This restriction ensures that white gets more possibilities to equal the game because the first two stones of black are not so close to each other so black has no surewin. The essence of long pro is that black has to put his/her second stone further than in standard or pro. Hereby the game becomes more equal and white has more chance in this opening rule than in standard or pro games. Long pro opening rule is suitable for serious games because it does not have so much importance who opens and who can start the game, black's chances nearly equals to white's chances.
