Haengma

Haengma is a Korean word which means roughly the way the stones move, or forward momentum (literally means moving horse). 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)
The term Hanegma is also used to describe certain Tesujis.
