1. Ladder (Go)In the game of Go, a Ladder is a basic sequence of moves in which an attacker pursues a group in atari in a zig-zag pattern across the board. If there are no intervening stones, the group will hit the edge of the board and be captured. The sequence is so basic that there is a Go proverb saying "if you don't know ladders, don't play Go. " The ladder tactic is often a failure, if there are stones supporting those being chased close enough to the diagonal path of the ladder.
