I first encountered these patterns very recently in an Internet Go School lecture (though in that lecture Jennie Shen puts :b1: on the third line), and it was all very new to me. So I am pretty sure there are a lot of 4ks around who don't know anything about these lines.

Now what?


Don't be silly, Bill. All my opponents are polite gentlemen that play the "correct" response!! :lol:

I went back to look at the example given in Jump Level Up, and I was wrong about the position, but the move is similar;

No explanation for if 5 is a hane, so no help from them

My first thought is that there are two cutting points to aim at;

I think I can cut the lower point directly, and end up with a big corner...But it will take a bit more reading to be sure that white can't get a better result on the outside. Of course, when I say "easy", I mean for someone that knows what they are doing :lol: I imagine more people are familiar with this shape rather than the other problem, but being familiar with seems to be a bit different than actually knowing something.

I'm not following what was correct and what was wrong.
Could you elaborate -- maybe with one diagram labeled 'correct', and one labeled 'wrong' ? Thanks.

Hi Ed,

My memory of the position from Jump Level Up was wrong, i.e. I thought that the position in Jump Level Up was this;

When W tenuki

But it was actually;

In either case, the shape that is being taken advantage of is the same, and the same move is correct. Just a different follow up. I guess recognising some shape is a good guide to find a good move. I just wanted to clarify, for anyone that has JLU and might look for it, and also to add another example with it's suggested follow up.

Thanks, zac.

Similar-looking shapes, but different.
