Four points in a row

Four points in a row, (whether straight four, bent four or twisted four), are enough to live.

[Diagram]
Straight four

In the straight four, B1 and W2 in the diagram are miai.


Five-point eye shapes

Five-point eye shapes are alive except for the crossed five and the bulky five. Some examples:

Six-point eye shapes

Six-point eye shapes are alive except for the rabbitty six. An example is rectangular six.


Seven-points eye shapes

Almost all eye shapes of seven points are alive. See the Bulky Seven shape.

Seven lives

This shape (butterfly seven) is one that seems most likely to be killed, but after B1 the position is seki.
