Hanedashi

Hanedashi (also written Hane-dashi) is a hane made from inside an opponent’s formation. The move is generally intended to push outward, create a cutting opportunity, or help a group escape. It is played diagonally adjacent to an opposing stone or chain within that framework.

The opponent’s response determines whether the stones emerge, connect, or cut through. Hanedashi differs from an ordinary hane because it specifically emphasizes playing inside the opposing formation and then coming out or breaking through. Its success depends on reading possible connections, captures, and counter-cuts. Without sufficient support, the move can become an overplay.
