types of endgame sente plays
    Keywords: EndGame

The basic and very important division is between:

  1. double sente, i.e. sente for whoever plays first;
  2. one-sided sente, i.e sente for Black and gote for White, or vice versa.

A double sente play, however small[1], confers advantage to the player taking it, and so is very urgent.

See basic endgame theory.


[1] Double sente is, by its very nature, large in comparison to other plays. It smallness is only apparent.
