 Red's initial stones resemble [[Edge template IV2d]], but in Y it's not an edge template since there are multiple edges to worry about. With 1. b3, Blue connects to either the top or the bottom-left edge (but Red may decide which one). After Red 2. c4, Blue 3. b4! is the only winning move. The carrier of Blue's win is shaded below; Blue can play a pairing strategy where if Red plays in a cell with a letter, Blue plays the other cell with the same letter.

 The winning move is (a). The strongest reply is (b), after which Blue has to play (c) or (d). With correct play, all the nodes will become occupied.

 A window is a loose term for the situation where a group of friendly stones, which is connected to a friendly edge, is accessible through a tiny gap in the opponents stones. They are often created through sequences of moves on a corner, with a breaking move from the opponent to interrupt a ladder or reduce the freedom of such group.

 At first glance, a window seems to be not so helpful for connection due to its lack of accessibility. However, it can usually serve to offer an extra move by creating a threat that the opponent is forced to block, giving you another move to win the game.
