Zoku-suji vs. Making shape

tderz: A common mistake is the hane vs. the Hane at the Head of Two Stones. Black creates more own defects (a, b, c), whereas White has fewer (d). Sometimes this result on the left is worsened by black b, Wx, By, Wz or so.

Black B1 on the right settles the shape with one move:

  • it creates eye shape
  • depending on individual circumstances (what is at m?),
    We could be blocked by Bf
  • if White neglects to answer B1, ,

Be, Wg, Bh turn the roles and Black threatens hane Bi.

  • if White attaches at f, Bo, Wp, Bq is safe and leaves White with weaknesses at s and g.
