Endgame Precision
Convert advantages cleanly through sente, gote, and reverse sente choices.
Advanced lesson. Board: 19x19. Estimated time: 10 minutes. Concepts: yose, reverse sente, counting.
Reference notes
- Count follow-up value, not just first-move value.
- Prioritize reverse sente before small gote.
- Close boundaries before dame.
Practice prompt
Replay the final 40 moves and label each important move as sente, gote, reverse sente, or double sente.
Review check
If the final margin was small, find the largest endgame move you left late.
