Tiger's mouth
This is the reference form of a tiger's mouth, that is formed by two diagonal moves in different directions. In this form it resembles the mouth of a tiger, yet all symmetrical representations are also thus labeled. The shape is also called tiger shape.
The tiger's mouth is most often used to make a connection known as a hanging connection. The marked stone is the hanging part. The other two stones block off a white stone.
