Haengma 행마/行馬 (Korean)

Haengma is a Korean word which means roughly the way the stones move, or forward momentum. The term is used to describe various connections and their implications. Some connections are strong, but move across the board slowly (i.e., they do not develop forward very quickly), while the faster connections are weaker.

In English we call some of the slow moves walking and some of the fast moves running.

The seven basic Haengma are:

Strong (but slow)

Average

Fast (but weaker)
