Atekomi
    Keywords: Shape, Go term

Atekomi is a play aiming to cut a diagonal play (kosumi). That is, it creates a cutting point from the opponent's diagonal.

Diag.: atekomi

So Black here is atekomi (something like "aim inside").

There are some cases where atekomi is a hard-to-find tesuji. Normally of course White can simply connect as an answer, so such cases must depend on some factor like shortage of liberties (damezumari).

White 1 is atekomi. Black can't protect at both a and b.
