6 connects

W1, W3, W5 are the twirl, a variation of the squeeze tesuji performed on the first line. Japanese: guru-guru mawashi (spin round and round).

If B6 connects, in this case White connects up with W7, leaving Black with a floating clump. In other cases, White may be able to capture Black entirely.

Other proposed names: "edge wrap", "first-line edge wrap", "edge wrap squeeze", "squeeze wrap", "connection squeeze" (Holigor); "shrink-wrap tesuji" (charkysan?).

tderz: We should be able to find a more spectacular example for guru-guru mawashi.

dnerra: Here is a variant of this tesuji that I recently missed in one my games.
