Bad shape
Path: Mistake
· Prev: AutomaticPlay · Next: BadStyle
Difficulty: Beginner Keywords: Shape, Go term
General term for a shape such as a dango, emptytriangle etc. that fails to work well because it is inefficient, or suffers from shortage of liberties, has too many cutting points, too little eye shape, and so on. It is particularly problematic earlier on in the game, as it gives the opponent weaknesses to aim at.
Often a tesuji exists to exploit the weakness(es) of bad shape. A weird shape that appears in actual play is the B2Bomber.
