=== Suicide ===
Currently, most major rulesets forbid playing such that a play results in that player's own stones being removed from the board. Some rulesets (notably, New Zealand derived rules and Ing rules) allow suicide of more than one stone. Suicide of more than one stone rarely occurs in real games, but in certain circumstances, a suicidal move may threaten the opponent's eye shape, yielding a ko threat.<ref name="Suicide in different rules.">{{cite web|title=Comparison of Some Go Rules|url=http://www.britgo.org/rules/compare.html#suic|publisher=British Go association|access-date=13 January 2017}}</ref>
