Kosumi Cut

   

I think Kosumi Cut is a good name here, because the cutting stone is a kosumi and because it cuts opponant's kosumi. If there is already a name for this cut on SL please just move my example there. -Jared

Mef: I don't know if I would call it a duplicate, but this seems similar to atekomi.

(This example comes from KGS - exam vs. pyczhm 7-2-05)

Kosumi Cut

Black has just played B1 and now white must try to escape. Perhaps white thought 'a' might work, but it does not.

Kosumi Cut

B3 is a Kosumi Cut

After B3, White is cut.

B3 at 'a' or 'b' would fail; the Kosumi Cut works where other cuts do not.

'a' or 'b' is more common than B3, because we are used to StrikeAtTheWaistOfTheKeima
