The crane's nest tesuji is a classic tesuji used to capture fleeing stones.

[Diagram]
White to capture the black stones

Black has just played B1, connecting (?) his three stones on the left with his centre group. How can White capture those stones?


[Diagram]
White 2 is tesuji

White W2 captures the stones with the crane's nest tesuji. (B7 at W2)



A related proverb is play on the point of symmetry.

--MortenPahle

In Poland we call this tesuji kraszek (in English you could say crashek) in memory of Janusz Kraszek.

--Marcin Kaminski

DJ: What do you mean "in memory"??!? Janusz is still alive, isn't he??!?

MK: Ok, I should have written "after" :)

(Another proverb leading to the same point: Play at the centre of three stones.)
