[Diagram]
Black is always behind

Here Black has no choice about continuing to push, because White at a is a very good bend. Black should try to get ahead (3 at a or b), as soon as it is tactically safe to do so.



This is a bad situation for Black, because White can make the decisions, for example by playing hane at B3 instead of W2, or with W4 at a.

The general phenomenon is called a pushing battle.

Pushing from behind is called kuruma no ato-oshi (pushing the cart from behind, 車の後押し) in Japanese.
