Hanging connection

Kaketsugi is a key shape in Go, forming a tiger’s mouth, a shape known for its efficiency in defending against cuts. 

Unlike a direct solid connection, kaketsugi leaves a slight gap but still effectively reinforces a group, making it more resilient to attacks.

Though it may appear slightly loose compared to a solid connection, kaketsugi provides flexibility and efficiency, making it an essential tool in defense.
