Ko Fighting
PageType: Path   Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Ko

One of the central principles of the go rules is the concept of a ko. In general, a ko cannot be recaptured straight away, and if the ko has any value, what is known as a ko-fight develops.

This page is meant to give you some basic information about what a ko-fight is, and how to play it.

There is much more at the second course on ko.
