Extension
Definition
An extension is a move that extends an existing configuration of one or more stones, typically along the side, leaving several empty points between the played stone and the existing stones.
An extension towards the centre is more commonly called a jump (however, see one space jump). An extension leaving no empty points between the existing and the played stone is called a solid extension or stretch.
Examples
is an extension from a corner enclosure
is an extension from a single stone
is an extension from a wall
