A wariuchi is a wedge play on the side which leaves the possibility to extend to one side or the other.

[Diagram]
Wariuchi.

If Black approaches (either point b), White can extend (to either point a). The two extensions are miai.



Bob Myers: Since wedge has two meanings, it seems preferable to me to use splitting move for wariuchi. Wedge has the connotation in English of slipping in between something very tightly, which is much closer to the Warikomi meaning.

Charles I'm a bit concerned that renaming perverse wedges might be an arrestable offence ...
