The Anchor
Sorry, you need a Java enabled browser to view the Havannah Player!

The Anchor is an extension from one of a player's own stones, with an influence perpendicular to the direction of the extension. Black 7 is a perfect example: it extends upward, away  from the very stone (and ultimately group) it means to trap. But its influence extends horizontally trapping white on the right and and passing on to two successive anchors on the left, black 9 and 11.
