Te

 

te-tsuki
    Keywords: Go term

Japanese (手つき) for the way a stone was physically played. Usually paired with an adjective as in:

  • light tetsuki
  • strong tetsuki
  • good tetsuki
  • beginner's tetsuki
  • beautiful tetsuki
  • great tetsuki
  • clumsy tetsuki
  • confident tetsuki

See also How to hold and play a go stone.


Bob McGuigan: I think tetsuki is part of the meaning of shudan, or hand talk, as a nickname for go. The way you play stones expresses your feelings, attitude, and intentions.
