internal ko threat
A ko threat which would, if not answered, settle the stones threatened by the ko. Hence such threats are extremely effective! The diagram shows a ko in progress (white 1 has just captured a black stone) which disputes a second eye for the black corner group. The internal ko threat, black 2, threatens to cut at A which, if not blocked, would capture three white stones thus directly giving life to the corner stones. |
