Ko threats?

All kos are dealt the same way: with ko threats

What happens if there are 3 or more ko and both players plays only the ko? does the game end in a draw?

I guess These are Chinese rules of go

I think the OP means “how do we finish games properly here at OGS when this happens”.

The answer is “report the game, moderators can help”.

For example, if it is in Japanese rules, the game can be terminated and annulled.

I dunno I tried to answer this not very clear assumption.

If “these” is referring to the SL article then no it’s a broader view on how 3 kos are regulated in the different sets of rules.
OGS is trying to offer many rules to chose from and each has its own way to manage triple ko situation. That may be at times not exactly what should be expected (from some memory of an older debate here on the forum).

3 kos is a very rare situation happening. If so and you don’t agree with the way OGS manage it under the set of rules you selected then you can contact a moderator to solve it.

Not as rare as we might think. :slight_smile:

Or … at least, we play a lot of games, so even rare things happen moderately often!

I like how the AI review knew it was a draw with winrate going to 50%. Though black messed up and should have taken and connected in top left rather than h9 outside atari which made it a direct ko he takes first and wins as white no threats.

That graph looked wierd to me, but I thought “huh, not today’s problem” :slight_smile:

Nice to have the explanation.
