I think we need a thread to brag about our accomplishments with respect to shapes.
I’ll make a start and proudly present: the hammer
Not only can it crush the opponent on both sides, it also comes with the advantage that it is easy to handle even for kyu players because it has a handle!
It’s a screenshot from an ongoing game, so feel free to comment about the form, but please no comments about the game.
I find it useful to think of this shape as separate (but ofc derived from) the tiger’s mouth, because it’s quite a common structure that occurs naturally following good play in many contact positions (not surrounded by empty space, obviously).
I’ve toyed with naming a jug shape when there’s an extra black stone at 2-4, and a vase when there’s instead an extra one at 5-4 (making a sort of enhanced bamboo joint).
I will call this the “telephone pole”, it was the result of an attempt to reduce my opponent’s area (context: Play Go at online-go.com! | OGS). Use it to call for help?
Isn’t the tip missing? And the opponent has already spotted that weakness and played there. The two neighboring double tip stones of your bomber are nearly disconnected. The entire stability of it hinges on that single central stone, no redundancy to cope with failures at all. This is not how aircraft are built. I think you can do better next time.
