Zokusuji

Keywords: Go term
Zokusuji literally means "crude line of play" and is often translated as "vulgar move". In Sakata Eio's Tesuji and Anti-Suji of Go, Bob Terry has translated zokusuji as anti-suji, because that seems to be the way Sakata intended it. Sometimes the zokusuji (crude line of play) is the correct move.[1] In that case we wouldn't call it a vulgar move. Most of the time, zokusuji is incorrect, and spoils the correct line of play. In that case, we could call it anti-suji. Although Bill has vowed not to quibble about it, we might come to a fine definition if he sheds light once more on the matter. Others literate in Japanese are most welcome too.
