Template III2-f is a 3rd row edge template with 2 stones.

Both red stones are connected to the bottom (i.e., Red does not have to choose which of the two stones to connect).

(From Mike Amling, see: www.drking.org.uk)

Defending the template

Red has three main threats, using edge template II, edge template III2b, and the ziggurat, respectively:

A
B
C

Because these threats do not overlap, Blue cannot prevent Red from connecting to the bottom.
