This time, you are the attacker.
You touched the white stone at E7 and then white attacked back with F6.
What is the best next move?
In this case, the move called "extension" is good.
By extending a stone at E6, you can strengthen the stone.
Please note that the extension is also increasing your liberties from 2 to 4.
You can extend toward the bottom as below.
It depends on the situation to which direction you should extend.
If black didn't extend, what would happen?
Probably, white is willing to attack the stone at E6.
You should have kept attacking white after you played E6 - a touch on
E7.
Now practice.
Extend your stone after touching and being slapped.
There are two right answers. Find both of them!
Please remeber that an extension move can protect your stones.
