How should I go about turning my moyos into definite territory? |

This is another difficult question. At first, in a moyo game, you must set up the moyo on as large a scale as possible and wait to see how the opponent reacts. He or she might choose to compete by setting up his or her own moyo, or instead go for territory and wait for an opportunity to invade your moyo later.
If the game develops like this, the important thing is positional judgement. If you conclude that your moyo is big enough to win, then you should add a move to strengthen it, that is, to turn it into territory. How you do this will differ depending on the arrangement of the stones, the territorial balance, and the aji.
In practice, it’s very difficult to count a moyo. You have to get into the habit of counting on a regular basis in your games, so that you get used to it. This would be good training for you. |
