Furikawari

    Keywords: Go term

A Furikawari is a sudden exchange of potential territories (which may involve quite large groups of stones changing hands, too).

It most often occurs where one player has a large moyo, which is invaded by the opponent. Whilst defending his moyo, the player builds up a force which he uses to successfully invade the opponent's territory. The result afterwards is that the opponent may end up with the original moyo territory, whereas the moyo player ends up with the territory originally claimed by his opponent.

A ko furikawari occurs when one player ignores a ko threat to win a ko or make an approach move in an ApproachKo.
