Shape That Works
Build groups that stay connected, light, and hard to attack.
Intermediate lesson. Board: 13x13. Estimated time: 8 minutes. Concepts: shape, cutting points, efficiency.
Reference notes
- Empty triangles are slow because they add little freedom.
- One-point jumps and knight moves are efficient only when their cuts are acceptable.
- Good shape fixes more than one weakness with one move.
Practice prompt
Choose the move that fixes the most weaknesses without making the group heavy.
Review check
Review whether your shape gave you liberties, connection, or eye potential.
