Crane's Nest Tesuji
Path: Tesuji · Prev: Oiotoshi · Next: ShortageOfLiberties
The crane's nest tesuji is a classic tesuji used to capture fleeing stones.
Black has just played , with the intention of connecting his three stones on the left with his centre group. How can White capture those stones?
White captures the stones with the crane's nest tesuji. (

In Poland we call this tesuji kraszek (in English you could say crashek) after of Janusz Kraszek.

Proverbs:
iopq: You can do a variation of this tesuji to four stones as well:
you can learn a lot from tesuji even if you don't get to play those exact tesuji :)
Are you sure this works? I haven't read it out, but if black plays 3 at 6 or one to the right of 6 it is far from clear to me that he is captured...
Dieter: We can all learn a lot. One of the main things to learn in Go is that what you see is not always what you get. Hopes and guesses are no basic ingredients for tesuji.
GoJaC: I believe 3 at 6 works, but one to the right of 6 does not (black gets caught in a snapback). Is it cluttering this page if I demonstrate this here? Should this be taken to a discussion page? This is then not a Crane's Nest Tesuji...)
iopq: Added the stone in the original diagram.
Velobici: I in the diagram White 2 is tesuji... as well I guess correct?
there tries to move out on the side where White is stronger. Wouldnt it be better to move out where White is weaker?
unkx80: You want problems? You have problems!
Velobici: Problems, I got. More go problems, I appreciate ;)
Was I correct about the above diagram? At my level an error is always lurking nearby ready to pounce!
unkx80: I would say that you are correct. =)
black is dead. is tesuji. if black tries to escape at
, white answers at
.
useless since
is snapback (
at b). if white plays 1 at 2 black can escape at 1 and whites cut at a would be atari after black plays b
greetings blacklabel (sometimes to be found on kgs :) )
black is dead. white plays ,
tries to escape, and
cuts.
useless, since
creates snapback(
at b). note white has to attack from above. otherwise cutting stone (which would be at a is atari after black b and black can escape.
so 1 really is tesuji here, every other play lets black escape killing the 4 whites on the side and leaving the rest crumbled
