Dagger Go

    Keywords: Variant

In Dagger Go, the weaker player gets a certain number of "daggers" as a handicap. A dagger gives that player the ability to make two moves in a row (ie: to force their opponent to pass). Daggers are quite strong, and I'd recommend giving one dagger only for every 3-5 stones of rank difference.
