Rabbitty Six
Of the six-point big eyes, only this one can be killed. Its vital point is 'a'. It is known as the rabbitty six [1] or nutcracker. It is also known as the flower six because the Japanese term for this shape is hana-roku. [1] The term "rabbitty six" was invented by James Davies. The shape vaguely reminds one of a rabbit's head; the ears are at the top left. Six in a rectangle can also be killed, although it usually turns into ko. -- TimBrent
SAS: Someone added this diagram, which shows how not to play (Black should start at 2 when White has no outside liberties). I think there are correct diagrams elsewhere in Sensei's Library, but the site is too slow for searching at the moment. unkx80: See two by three box. This is a copy of the living page "Rabbitty Six" at Sensei's Library. (C) the Authors, published under the OpenContent License V1.0. |
