Tenuki
  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Go term

'Tenuki' is used to denote playing somewhere else. If black plays tenuki, he does not answer locally to white's last move, but instead adds a move in another part of the board.

BillSpight: One of the commonest amateur mistakes is getting locked into the local fight and continuing to play there when there are larger plays elsewhere. Tenuki is always an option.

IronChefSakai: That reminds me of a go proverb that go somewhat like this: "Play the big points first"

Fenomenoide: There's other proverb "With less than 15 stones in danger, tenuki."

Bill: I think players do not tenuki enough, but, pardon me, that so-called proverb is ridiculous.
Just my 2 cents worth.
