Ambient Temperature

    Keywords: Theory

The ambient temperature is the temperature of the rest of the board outside the play or plays in focus, for instance, a ko fight. It is an abstraction, roughly equal to the miai value of the largest play not in focus.

The ambient temperature may affect the local play. In the case of Ko Threat Evaluation, it figures in the estimate of the ko exchange.
