Book Club. Tesuji by James Davies, Chapter 4. Ko

@jlt

A principle I found useful: whenever I initiate the ko and/or play local ko threats, play preferably “outside” rather than “inside”, so that even if I lose the ko, at least the stones I’ve placed during the fight may become useful later.

i like that. I think Janice Kim was making a closely related the point in one of her books when she disliked placing stones as ko threats that one would never play usually.
