Life In 19x19

Anyway, to your point, it’s not clear to me that “atekomi” is self explanatory to this audience.

Until this thread, I didn't know what an atekomi was.

A more descriptive English translation: inside attachment?

Armpit attachment?

Or perhaps: an elbow (strike)/to elbow or a knee (strike)/to knee? (refering to martial arts)

It's to the crook of the elbow or knee.

A groin strike? (Ouch!)

Elbow wedge?

It could also be an elbow/knee strike to the torso (I'm thinking Muay Thai).

Oops I did it again, sent like an angel from above. It is a freaking angel wedge, not an angle wedge, can't you see it? I played with your connection, that is just so typically me.

An angel called Haley, not Britney by the way.

It is late already, don't bother

For karma balance a nice atekomi game example.

(I was mainly interested in the AI prepared lower left opening by black when I spotted the atekomi move 43 after reading this thread.)

This exact corner position appears in Yoon Young-sun's new video Diagonal answer is the best? - AI Master Class 6.

So you are translating all those videos by Ch'oi Ch'oel-han? If so, thank you for your efforts with the YouTube subtitles!

Ha, she already posted it! Yeah, I did the subtitles here. I finished last night, so I didn’t realize the post was already up.

Despite the interesting thread here, I used “pinch” and moved on since nothing seemed totally satisfying to me. When you see “pinch”, feel free to think atekomi or whatever.

About the videos, I told her I can’t do them every day. Probably more like once a week. I had planned to focus on go, but then this came up. I guess it’s still go study, but frankly, I retain more about the wording he uses than the position when I translate these.

This thread raised my awareness that an atekomi / angle wedge move can be a good option. I frowned upon such a candidate move and dismissed in the passed not seldom, when it probably would have been the proper move. Like a regular wedge, to place a stone with only two liberties, is to be considered carefully (reading necessary).

I'm not sure if it can be called an atekomi, but it's a very nice tesuji in this tsumego problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YRDVlS ... u.be&t=122
