counter-hane

    Keywords: Go term

A hane against an opponent's stone which forms a hane itself is called a counter-hane (hanekaeshi in Japanese).

Often a counter-hane will create a staircase shape.

See also Hanekaeshi followup.

Coconuts: Does this include the staircase and the cross cut only or am I missing something?

Bill: No, the crosscut is not a counter-hane. It is a counter to the hane, though.
