Respond To Attachment With Hane
   

The proverb recommends to respond with hane to an attachment.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Black 2 responds with hane.

White 1 intends to settle up quickly here. When you are weak and the opposition is strong you should play closer to the opponent's stones.

Black responds with hane 2.


[Diagram]
Diag.: One of the possible continuations

Before playing 1 (or even before the attachment) white should check if the ladder is favourable for her.

 HolIgor


An attachment in to the corner stone early in the game is bad for the side that attaches. Discussion about how uncomfortable things go if such an attachment is made could be found in RespondToAttachmentWithHaneDiscussion.
