Suji

Suji is a broad concept that encompasses different aspects of move efficiency and logical sequences in Go. It represents not just a single move but the relationship between moves in a given position. 

Types of Suji

• Tesuji (手筋) – A skillful or optimal tactical sequence.
• Zokusuji (俗筋) – An inefficient or vulgar sequence, often played without deep consideration.
• Haengma (행마) – The Korean equivalent, referring to good movement and shape in a local fight.

Recognizing strong suji improves a player’s ability to control the board and shape their groups effectively. Professional players often praise moves with good suji for their balance of efficiency, elegance, and strength.
