Ponnuki

Ponnuki

Ponnuki (from Japanese ポン抜き) is a term in the game of Go which refers to capturing a single stone, resulting in a diamond shape. The shape of the remaining capturing stones is considered to be very strong, due to its influence in all directions. A certain Go proverb says .

A diamond shape (4 stones touching the same empty spot) is not thought of as Ponnuki, if it wasn't constructed by capturing the middle stone.

Depending on the context (other stones on the board), a Ponnuki may be strong and thick but inefficient ("overconcentrated").

Meaning of the Word

The word "ponnuki" (ポン抜き) breaks up into "pon" and "nuki", in which "pon" is supposedly the imaginary sound of a stone being captured, while "nuki" means "taking out" (noun).
