Go terms

Go terms are terms in Go, technical terms likely to be met in books and articles about go in English, and in other languages also. Although Go probably originated in China, the current technical vocabulary contains a high proportion of terms from the Japanese language. Many of them are from a jargon, used for technical go writing and to some extent specially developed for go journalism; in some cases the technical meaning of a word may differ from a dictionary meaning coming from ordinary usage.

Sente

The initiative, or a move that carries initiative, by requiring a follow-up. For example, "white," after making a move that is sente, and it is responded to (in Go terms#Gote) has the choice of where to play next. White is therefore said to "have sente."
