The Power of Hane

Hane is the most common attacking move in Go, and playing it more often is one of the fastest ways to get stronger. So why do so many beginners hold back? Usually, it’s fear of the cut (not the cat, although one does make a cameo). This course teaches you to hane with confidence: why it usually beats a simple extension (and when it doesn’t), how to respond when the cut actually comes, and when to follow up with a double hane.

Suitable for: 20–13 kyu, who are ready to add some attacking power into their games
