Nozoki
    Keywords: Go term

[Diagram]
Diag.: Nozoki

A nozoki (English term 'peep') is a move which threatens to cut. Black 1 and white 2 are both nozoki, threatening black A and white B respectively.

A nozoki is a play near (peeping at) a connection.

Diag.: No nozoki

White 1 also threatens to cut at A, but it isn't nozoki.

Question -- given the Proverbs "do not peep at a cutting point" and "Even a moron connects against a peep", it seems that a peep is generally an undesirable move. When is it useful? Is is more appropriate in mid game or end game? --Logan Bender

No, some "peeps" are good moves, refer to what is said under kikashi and nozoki.

As to the proverb "do not peep at a cutting point", the meaning is: if you can cut, cut
