Kill Yourself in Gote
Path: Mistake   · Prev: Kikasare   · Next: KyuDisease
  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Life & Death, Tactics

Even worse than death in gote is to kill your own group in gote.

It is equivalent to losing three moves.

Here is a list:

  1. live in sente
  2. live in gote
  3. die in sente
  4. die in gote
  5. kill yourself in gote.

-- Matti
