1. Cut
If Black cuts with after White's hane at the head, White hanes at the foot and connects. This follow-up is important.
2. Counter hane
If Black counter hane, White can consider a double hane ...
... or hane at the foot ...
... or getting ahead by stretching ...
... or cut if she is really strong.
3. Counter hane at the foot
If Black counter hanes from this side, White can hane and connect.
4. Making shape
tderz: A common mistake is the hane vs. the hane at the head of two. Black creates more own defects (a, b, c), whereas White has fewer (d). Sometimes this result on the left is worsened by black b, Wx, By, Wz or so.
Black on the right settles the shape with one move:
- it creates eye shape
- depending on individual circumstances (what is at m?),
We could be blocked by Bf
- if White neglects to answer
, ,
Be, Wg, Bh turn the roles and Black threatens hane Bi.
- if White attaches at f, Bo, Wp, Bq is safe and leaves White with weaknesses at s an g.
