Capture once to use up a threat

Keywords: Ko
If you have first capture in a ko fight, it may be correct to capture the ko once (and only once). The fight may be unfightable, in principle; and you may have to concede the fight by making a defensive play immediately your opponent recaptures in the ko. Still, you will have made some use of the position, since your opponent will have used up a single threat (which is normally a small loss, for example of some aji).
