Diamond
    Keywords: Shape

[Diagram]
Diag.: Diamond shape

This shape. A ponnuki is the process of capturing a single stone leaving such a shape - not the shape itself.



Ponnuki implies local tally BBB; if you make a diamond as Black without capturing a white stone that is local tally BBBB. The former is proverbially worth 30 points, i.e. ten points when you divide by the tally; the latter would therefore give only 7.25 points per play.
