Suji
    Keywords: Go term

Suji means line of play.

Examples:

The effective use of a suji is called tesuji.
Ineffective use of a suji, or playing in a way which spoils the tesuji is called zokusuji.

-- Dieter Verhofstadt


To translate this into terms of reading, to see suji in a position is only to imagine that certain techniques might apply, with results that one must then evaluate. Good knowledge of suji indicates how to carry out basic operations: such as blocking off the opponent or escaping with one's own group. It can answer questions about how to connect.

It is said that the strength of players is apparent to an expert at the level of suji.
