angle wedge
In Shuko's Tesuji Dictionary the "angle wedge" is a play like into one of the miai points for the diagonal
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.
xela: Is this supposed to be different from atekomi?
Bob McGuigan: Maybe it is just following the trend of replacing Japanese terms with English ones. The Japanese edition of Fujisawa's dictionary uses the word atekomi.
xela: If it really is the same thing, then maybe we should delete this page and replace it with an alias to atekomi.
