Placement
    Keywords: Life & Death, Go term

A placement is a play at a vital point inside a big eye.

See Nakade and Vital Point.

--unkx80

Amendment by Dieter:

A placement is a play inside the opponent's group, mostly on a vital point. The placement is detached from one's group. A placement is difficult to defend against.

Example:

[Diagram]
Diag.: Artificial example

After the placement at 1, Black can connect either at a or b. This is not life-threatening to White's group; rather it is endgame play.
