Pintsugi

B2, in response to the hane of W1, is a pintsugi, or straight-line connection. This could also be called a "pole connection" (bou-tsugi or bou-tsunagi 棒つなぎ).

Takemiya's pintsugi

The circled White stone in this diagram is a pintsugi, move 110 in the fourth game of the 40th Judan Title Match, with Takemiya Masaki playing white against O Rissei.



Note: Pintsugi would not be used for a straight-line connection in response to a peep.
