(Suggestion: Delete this template also. Without interfering with the template, Red can only be connected to the third side through d3. If d3 is red then we can also connect to the two sides with e3 or e4 instead of d4, both requiring a smaller template than d4 does.)

Because of the threat of reduction to a smaller corner template with e5, [[Blue]] has to answer within the marked hexes:

If Blue plays e5, Red's only way to retain connection to both sides within the template is f4, displaying standard Y tactics in a nutshell.

In Y, players have to link the three sides, and a corner links 2 edges. Similarly to edge templates in Hex there are Corner Templates in Y.

Red is trying to link right and bottom edges through a corner template.

One-stone corner templates

Two-stone templates
