Nozoki
Keywords: Go term
A nozoki (English term 'peep') is a move which threatens to cut. Black 1 and White 2 are both nozoki, threatening Black a and White b respectively. A nozoki is a play near (peeping at) a connection.
White 1 also threatens to cut at a, but it isn't nozoki. Charles Matthews This is an example of atekomi. Question -- Given the proverbs "Do not peep at cutting points" and "Even a moron connects against a peep", it seems that a peep is generally an undesirable move. When is it useful? Is it more appropriate in the middle game or end game? -- Logan Bender No, some "peeps" are good moves: refer to what is said under kikashi. As to the proverb "Do not peep at a cutting point", the meaning is: if you can cut, cut (see raw peep). This is a copy of the living page "Nozoki" at Sensei's Library.
