Descent tesuji

The descent tesuji is a simple but easy-to-overlook way to gain a liberty, in corner capturing races:
![[Diagram]](../../diagrams/49/8cede056835f21887a63f21813e77314.png) | Black 1 gains a liberty. |
It looks as if Black has lost this race, with three liberties against four. But
will create a shortage of liberties for White, who will have to
spend an extra approach move:

The hane at is a mistake. White can force a ko with the throw-in at followed by an atari at .
This move is sometimes called sagari in English, but according to John F.
this term would not be used here in Japanese.
- Bill: John can speak for himself, but, as I read his comments, he indicated that for descents to the first line, the term sagarikiri is preferred.
- In any event, Segoe and Go Seigen refer to this particular tesuji as sagari in their Tesuji Dictionary?.
