This is not what I wanted, take me BACK
| Snapback
A fitting name for once




Ah, snapback. One of the coolest techniques out there (although not THE coolest). You are doing great. Keep it up and I might even show you the most mindblowing trick we have in Go. But let's focus on the task at hand.
A snapback is a situation where capturing a stone does not actually increase the liberties of a group and it remains in atari.

It may not sound like much, but wait till you see it in action.

These are NOT a KO! While you are recapturing with a stone that just got captured, the game position is different and your opponent has no chance of capturing back.

With snapback, it is often the case of getting an edge by threatening to create a snapback rather than actually snapping back. Either way, try to look for those in your games. They are not as uncommon occurences as you might think.







Actually, let me get back to this one later
EZ , I got this, what's next?
