In the game of Go, the empty triangle is the most fundamental example of the concept of bad shape. Three stones of one color form an empty triangle when they are placed in a triangle arrangement that fits in a 2×2 square, and when one intersection is left empty.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Sensei's Library: Empty triangle )〕 If the triangle is ''filled'' by a stone of the opponent's at the fourth point of the 2×2, the shape is neutral – not necessarily good or bad. The deficiencies of the empty triangle are twofold. Three stones in a straight line have eight liberties, while in an empty triangle they have only seven. This can mean the difference between success and failure in a life-and-death struggle. Also the formation lacks efficiency.〔 〕 In the case cited, the diagonally adjacent stones are tactically connected without the third stone, since the opponent can't prevent them from connecting unless he is ignored for a turn. However even though the empty triangle is a prime example of bad shape, creating one could make sense, or even qualify as brilliant, in certain situations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Sensei's Library: Good Empty Triangle ) 〕 ''The Empty Triangle'' is also the name of a popular series of comic panels about the game of Go that features personalities from the KGS Go Server.〔(''The Empty Triangle'' #17 "Welcome to KGS" )〕 == See also == * International Go Federation 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Empty triangle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
