Double-Purpose Plays
  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Strategy

Any play that has two meanings, regarding tactics or strategy or both. For example double atari, or a play that defends your group while attacking your opponent, or a good ladder breaker that has some effect.

Much of basic strategy aims at setting up double-purpose plays, or denying them to your opponent. See for example immediate life. Clearly they are in general useful, and a sign that you are co-ordinating different objectives.
