I don't know of any names for those shapes of three stones. I assume you're not referring to their specific relation to their respective corners.

Not sure if they have an 'official' name.
But personally, I call them as follows (order: UL UR BR BL):

Bob Steven Mikey Justus

I think we can all use these names unless something better already exists or is proposed.

C'mon gimme some more...

I think of the first one as "that one you use when there's a cutting point you need to fix, and at least one (preferably both) ladders work, and you want to get out fast"...

I know Bantari was only joking with his suggestion, but once upon a time I did try using personal names to categorise various techniques I saw. The problem was that it only made things harder to remember, because not only was I trying to remember the go technique, but also the name.

For terms to be effective, I believe they have to have a meaningful connection with the things they refer to. Persisting in my own way for a moment, the phrase "big bent scissors" does make it easy to remember the haengma of jumping two spaces from a kosumi, but in line with one stone, rather than in a diagonal direction, while jumping spaces from a kosumi, but in line with one stone, rather than in a diagonal direction does work ("it does exactly what it says on the tin"), but is possibly mildly deficient in colour and ease of use.

And, by the way, you should only know what my first ideas as to labelling some of these haengma were :twisted:

With prefaces "horse" and "elephant?"

Oh, no. Nothing so poetic or so polite!

i think the top left shape is called a tripod and the bottom right one is called the panther shape.

Unless the tripod shape you're referring to is something different, it's not a tripod group, which is this: http://senseis.xmp.net/?TripodGroup .
