  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Shape, Go term

This shape is an empty triangle (akisankaku in Japanese). It is also called the devil's shape (onigatachi), because it brings to mind the long nose of one kind of Japanese demon.

Empty triangle

The empty triangle is bad, generally. But it can also be good.

In contrast, the full triangle is good shape.
