Hane
Keywords: Go term
Japanese: ハネ
A hane is a move which 'bends arounds' one or more of the opponent's stones. The basic shape is the one formed by white 1 in this diagram. There are many positions where a hane is a good move, as is witnessed by proverbs like 'Hane at the head of two' and 'There is death in the hane'. BillSpight: "Bend" could be confused with this play, a magari (turn). Better just say "hane".
Two responses to a hane are crosscut and hane-kaeshi. See also: AnswersToTheHaneDiscussion. This is a copy of the living page "Hane" at Sensei's Library. (C) the Authors, published under the OpenContent License V1.0. |
