Disturbing Kos

    Keywords: Ko

"A fighting ko involves repetitive removal; immediate removal of hot stones is prohibited. A disturbing ko involves cyclic removal; the disturber is prohibited from recycling."

"When life and death are settled, recycling of interchangable breaths is called a disturbing ko. The player who starts a disturbing ko is called the disturber. By attacking his opponent or using a double ko, the disturber creates a disturbing ko with no hot stones. After one cycle, the disturber is never allowed to continue disturbing."

Taken from [ext] Ing's Wei-ch'i Rules.


iopq: So, is this equivalent to a superko rule, but where one is allowed to return the position to the original state?

RobertJasiek: Of course not. That linked page does not explain Ing-ko but only pretends to do so. See my rules pages for explanations.
