Pulley
    Keywords: Life & Death, Go term

Tristan's term for the capturing technique used in situations such as this:

Basic Situation

[Diagram]
The tesuji

[Diagram]
A false eye



When White captures at a, Black plays at b to nullify the eye. To my mind, it seems as though the marked Black stone BC is "moved" along to the left, as though by a pulley.

The above is a sample problem from the Korean Baduk Academy on [ext] http://www.gobase.org
