Patting the Raccoon's Belly
Patting the Raccoon's Belly is an alias and a translation for the Japanese go term: Tanuki no hara tsuzumi ("The raccoon-dog drums his belly")[1].
The Chinese go term for the same tesuji (黄莺 扑 蝶) translates into English as a yellow oriole [2] captures the butterfly.
The knowledge of this tesuji is also a prerequisite for playing this hamete.
Black must decide now between answering at 'a'
or 'b'.
