Sen-ai-sen is the handicap of taking Black in two games out of every three. This was the smallest handicap possible between two players in the era before the introduction of komi.

Usually, after three games in a row are won by the same player (or some other threshold is reached) the handicap shifts to josen or to even. A game which if lost would result in a shift in the handicap is called a kadoban.
