[4] GETA
|

|
|
Another basic capturing technique is shown here. Shicho is not possible because of marked white stone but black 1 works in this shape. Please notice that white can't escape with A-B-C-D sequence. This is called GETA. |

|
|
Same as before...black 1 captures two white stones. Try to figure out how! |
|||
|
|
Black 1 here is a mistake. White can escape now. |
|||
|
|
Black fails again... |
|||
|
|
This is a little bit more complicated but black 1 is capturing a stone! |
|||
|
|
White's attempt to escape fails... |
|||
|
|
.A combination atari-geta which often appears in our games |
|||
|
|
White marked stones are captured with black 1.This is a big success for black. |
|||
|
|
Black fails if starts with 1 here. |
|||
| In conclusion there are various ways of chasing or capturing stones so we have to be very careful when choosing the capturing move.The stones with few liberties are in big danger so, as a preventing measure, we have to keep our stones connected. | ||||
