Double Hane
  Difficulty: Beginner  

[Diagram]
Diag.: B1, B3: double hane

A DoubleHane is - as the name already suggests - two hanes played in sucession. Usually it is quite a powerful play, if the local situation allows it.

AKA Two-step hane. -- Bill Spight


[Diagram]
Diag.: Double hane on the 3rd line

Black 3 is a powerful play as it shuts White into the corner. White cannot counter Black 3.


[Diagram]
Diag.: The counter fails

Black captures the marked stones and kills the corner as well. As Black 3 in the diagram above is such a powerful play, White has actually made a mistake before and should have extended to Black 1 above herself.

Add more examples if you feel like it :o) --ArnoHollosi
