When you try to enter flow state but end up being reckless instead. This resulted in a KO. Thank you for joining me on this educational breakdown as we take a closer glance. Notes: Searching for a ko (a situation where the same board position repeats, allowing you to recapture indefinitely) recklessly is dangerous in Go for three main reasons:It usually costs you more than your opponent: Ko threats have to be big enough to force an answer; if you spend a huge threat just to keep a simple ko alive, you often lose more points elsewhere on the board than the ko itself is worth. You can run out of threats first: Most kos are decided by who has the last usable ko threat. Starting unnecessary ko fights or reconnecting too early burns your threats and hands the initiative (and usually the ko) to your opponent. It gives your opponent free moves: Every time you make a ko threat elsewhere, your opponent gets to answer in the ko or ignore you and play another big threat. Recklessly engaging means you’re basically letting your opponent play two moves in a row whenever they want. In short: only fight a ko when it’s clearly worth more than the threats you’ll have to spend, and when you have (or can create) more/bigger threats than your opponent. Otherwise you just damage yourself.
