A throw-in (Japanese horikomi, Chinese pu) is a sacrifice play in which at least one stone is captured by the opponent, played in order to destroy eye shape or reduce liberties. For another sense of throw-in in English, see Throwin Ko. A throw-in is different from a nakade. A nakade is a play inside a real eye. A throw-in makes or maintains a false eye.
In this example, a throw-in is used to remove the eye which White could have made here. A throw-in is often the first move in a snap back, shortage of liberties, or oi otoshi sequence; or a squeeze tesuji. --MortenPahle (10kyu) A very common and useful technique is the throw-in under three. --Dieter Another commonly application of the throw-in tesuji to destroy eyes can be found at Beginner Exercise 4. --unkx80 Path: AspectsOfSacrifice · Prev: SqueezeTesuji · Next: AddASecondStoneAndSacrificeBoth Path: GiveMeLiberties · Prev: Oshitsubushi · Next: NoseTesuji Path: Tesuji · Prev: SqueezeTesuji · Next: Oiotoshi This is a copy of the living page "Throw-in" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
