A net is a technique where one or a few stones are captured by blocking the exits. The basic form of a net is in this diagram. The marked black stone now cannot escape: If Black plays a, White answers at b; if Black c, she answers at d.

A slightly more complicated net is in this diagram. Try to check for yourself that Black can indeed not escape, after this move.

Potential nets are important for the practical play. These are the nets that are never played out, but which guard your connections. Example now at net example 9.
