Second line capture
The pattern behind is one of the first to occur to a beginner. The initial shape resembles a chapel, hence the name. [1]
It is one of the basic edge patterns.
So, the beginner learns that the descent doesn't save the stones. That does not alter the fact that
is sometimes a good move, in particular to destroy eye shape as in the two stone edge squeeze. In some cases, neighbouring white stones mean
can save the original stone.
A second line capture often (but not always) allow the capturer to create an eye at the captured stone. In this example, captures the
stone and ensures life with two eyes.

When I learned this pattern as a beginner, we called it the "second line trap" -- for obvious reasons. -- Michael Eisenberg
