Tesuji Intoxication
Path: BadHabits · Prev: ThrowingTheBoardAgainstTheWallDentingTheWallAndTheBoardPriorToUppercuttingYourOpponent · Next: RefuseToTakeHandicap This refers to a bad habit by many lower kyu players (including myself) of falling into the trap of trying to capture a couple of enemy stones in elaborate way while failing to take the overall board situation into account. Tesuji intoxication often leads to either: A)Capturing 2-3 stones in gote while allowing your opponent to play a major point on the board. B)Allowing your opponent to build up a powerful wall in exchange for the stones that your loss is often guaranteed well before the endgame. Tesuji Intoxication seems to be particularly rampant in handicap games.
