Nozoki
    Keywords: Go term

[Diagram]
Diag.: Peep

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).


[Diagram]
Diag.: Examples

Black 1 and White 2 are both nozoki, threatening Black a and White b respectively.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Counterexample

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

Bill: "Poke" is the brainchild of one translator who thought that "peep" was salacious. I guess he did not think about all the meanings of "poke". ;-)

Charles Yes, indeed; such was my implication. Not for a family web site, though.
