Basic Tactics Of Go

  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Tactics

The fundamental tactics in go might be divided into half-a-dozen categories, such as:

  1. tactics for direct capture (such as ladder, net, snapback, double atari)
  2. capturing races
  3. two eyes and all the associated theory of life and death
  4. cutting and connecting, starting with cutting points (see shapes and connections)
  5. attack and defence of territory, as in the endgame
  6. ko (see ko fighting).
