Atekomi
Atekomi is a play aiming to cut a diagonal play. That is, it creates a cutting point from the opponent's diagonal.
So Black here is atekomi (something like 'inside aim'). There are some cases where atekomi is a hard-to-find tesuji. Normally of course White can simply connect as an answer, so such cases must depend on some factor like shortage of liberties. This is a copy of the living page "Atekomi" at Sensei's Library.
