Basic Edge Patterns
  Difficulty: Beginner  

Dieter shoots off with what he usually calls the Chapel, but realized later that Chapels are a western/christian icon and as such not a very respectful choice for a universally known shape.

BillSpight: How about the Guillotine?
A respectful choice. ;-)

Jan: I'm sure some French royalists are going to get upset about that one. How about Altar, House of Worship or maybe just the House? The lengths one has to go to to keep the political correctness police at bay... (The Sake Bottle is Negative? is a negative statement about Japanese culture: whoever came up with that one - off with his head! :-)

imagineero?: 'House' is yet another term that has already found claim somewhere in the world; in Korea where go is called 'baduk' eyes and even territory are universally referred to as 'houses'


unkx80: I hope nobody objects that I add more junk right into this page, but I can't resist. I am adding these basic shapes here because I don't wish to create pages for names which I don't know, but here they are anyway. :-)

Diag.: Capturing on the third line


I usually call them Capturing of stone(s) on the first line and Capturing of stone(s) on the third line respectively, but these are directly translated from Chinese and are kind of long. Anyone who knows the actual names please feel free to relocate the material presented here. :-)

Jan: I guess the last one could be called the Cathedral...
Stefan: good one :-)
