Note, if you know or can invent the names of the tesuji, move diagrams to new pages.

6 connects

HolIgor: This is a variation of the squeeze tesuji but performed on the first line. As the result White is connected and Black has to find life in unfriendly environment.

SnotNose: I know of no name and I propose "edge wrap." A longer name might be "first-line edge wrap" or even "eye-stealing first-line edge wrap."

charkysan?: How about "shrink wrap tesuji"?

Jared Beck: I think the name should include the word squeeze, as this is just another type of squeeze tesuji.

SnotNose: So, "edge wrap squeeze"? "Squeeze wrap"? "Connection squeeze"?

White to live.

dnerra: Here is a variant of this tesuji that I recently missed in one my games.

Something from the endgame. Beginner's level.

Common with beginners.

The same tesuji

Jared Beck: The same tesuji, also common with beginners. I wish I still got to play simple tesuji like this. My opponents don't make such mistakes anymore!

Rather than calling this move a tesuji, however, I think makes more sense to call Black 2 "Anti-suji" This paradigm of learning the wrong move is more helpful to beginners than the paradigm of learning the response to the wrong move.

I borrow the term "Anti-suji" from Sakata Eio's book "Tesuji and Anti-suji of Go"


[Diagram]
Another quite common situation.

This happens sometimes even at IGS 5k* level. But in most games it is never played and remains a hidden threat that limits opponent's freedom of choice.
