Shobute
   

After the opening, when a player judges that straightforward continuations are insufficient to win, she may make a shobute, a play (te) that puts the game (shobu) in balance. Shobute are typically invasions.

Shobute usually involve some risk, but they are not necessarily overplays.

For an example, see the Sakata - Fujisawa game on the thick yose page.
