Tapir: If one has a group in double ko life - should one - and when should one resolve the ko (for not giving unlimited ko threats)? How does it affect the later game? Related question: How much are infinite 20 / 30 / 50 point threats worth? How do you play with it? (E.g. after large avalanche)

The double ko gives both players infinitely many threats that are equal to the life of the group. Therefore, if another ko forms which is not large enough to be worth giving up the group in order to win, but still big enough to decide the game, the game ends in no result. Otherwise the ko is ignored and the winning player wins by an ambiguous amount (i.e. "white wins by 3.5 or 17.5 points"). ~srn347
