Chapel
Difficulty: Beginner
The pattern behind Black 1 is one of the first to occur to a beginner. The initial shape resembles a chapel, hence the name. [1]
The white stones are captured. This is in fact also an example of a ladder.
So, the beginner learns that white 2 doesn't save the stones. That does not alter the fact that white 2 is sometimes a good move, in particular to destroy EyeShape. In some cases, neighbouring white stones mean white 2 can save the original stone. [1] If people know of existing names for the shape, please rename and rearrange the pages. This is a copy of the living page "Chapel" at Sensei's Library. (C) the Authors, published under the OpenContent License V1.0. |
