Diag.: 6 connects

This is a variation of squeeze tesuji but performed on the first line. As the result white is connected and black has to find life in unfriendly environment.

Diag.: Sagari saves and kills


I'm adding one more here, as I don't know the name used in the English Go community. The Chinese call it "Da Tou Gui" (literally translated as "big-headed ghost") --unkx80

Diag.: "Ta Tou Gui" Part 1

[Diagram]
Diag.: "Ta Tou Gui" Part 2


Something from the endgame. Beginner's level.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Common with beginners.



[Diagram]
Diag.: Another quite common situation.

I would call this ugly sagari tesuji. It appear with two unfriendly stones that cut off our forces and there is some shortage of liberties. The following diagram is just a general scheme. But the move is useful to remember.

Diag.: Ugly sagari
