Throw In
Difficulty: Beginner
Keywords: Tesuji, Shape
A Throw-in is a sacrifice play in which at least one stone is captured by the opponent, in order to destroy eyeshape.
White 1, trying to squeeze one extra point out of black is a mistake. Black can throw in at 2, and the eye here is false. Even if white takes at 'a', black does not have to respond, as the eye at 2 will never become real. White 1 at 2 would have lived.
In this example, a throw-in is used to remove the eye which white could have made here. A throw-in is often the first move in a snap back, damezumari or a squeeze tesuji. --MortenPahle (10kyu) This is a copy of the living page "Throw In" at Sensei's Library.
