https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_strategy_and_tactics#Sente_and_gote https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_strategy_and_tactics#Sente_... > A player whose moves compel the opponent to respond in a local position is said to have sente (先手), meaning they player has the initiative; the opponent is said to have gote (後手). Sente means 'preceding move' (lit: 'before hand'), whereas gote means 'succeeding move' (lit: after hand'). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Go_terms#Kikashi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Go_terms#Kikashi > Unlike sente, though, a move is kikashi when it yields a high efficiency in play by forcing the opponent to abandon a course of action. Kikashi seems rather techincal and quite narrow in where it can be applied.
