Nozoki
Keywords: Go term
The White move, peeping a the gate of Black's loose connection is called peep, peek or poke[1] in English and nozoki in Japanese. A peep threatens to cut (but not all moves that threaten to cut are peeps).
Black 1 and White 2 are both nozoki, threatening Black a and White b respectively.
White 1 also threatens to cut at a, but it isn't nozoki. This is an example of atekomi. [1] By the way, 'poke' must die. There is some explanation on English go terms discussion about the possible rudeness of 'peep'; I think native speakers of English will find this hilarious unless they have lived an extremely sheltered life. -- Charles
