Angle Wedge

In Shuko's Tesuji Dictionary the "angle wedge" is a play like B1 into one of the miai points for the diagonal WC stones to connect. The angle wedge is essentially a forcing move that gives some advantage to the forcing player such as sente or good shape if the opponent passively maintains the connection between the diagonally related stones.


Comment: Is "forcing move" the right term here? In english it sounds correct, but it doesn't have the same sense as kikashi since the forcing stone in this context is generally not disposable. Sente doesn't feel correct however, or is it? It seems there should be some special term for the taking of one miai point, forcing the opponent to take the other one.
