Two-stage ko



See Nidan Ko Examples.


Having an unfavorable two stage ko is better than have an unfavorable approach ko, because if the first ko is won in an approach ko, the player will next have to fight a normal ko, but if the first ko is won in a two stage ko, the player will be fighting a favorable two stage ko.
