Bermuda Triangle
  Difficulty: Beginner  

The bermuda triangle is a shape that often appears after a side invasion in handicap games. It is a kind of shape that the player suffering the invasion has to avoid. This triangle spells danger, hence the Bermuda triangle.

Diag.: Side invasion

Black plays the contact play of 2, mistakenly intending to connect underneath.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Bermuda Triangle

White applies basic instinct and hanes at 1. Black suddenly gets caught by fear and draws back at 2. White makes a beautiful full triangle. Black's marked stone is severely weakened. Black's position is cut to pieces. The advantage of having two stones in that zone to begin with, has vanished.
