I think Steve meant that the move /should have been used as/ a ko threat.

this, in fact, is a ko threat. if you play it *outside* of a ko, then it's a
wasted ko threat.  no big loss if there are no kos expected and no
lost kos have happened.  otherwise it's more tricky.


How is this a ko threat?   Lazarus threatens a chain of 4 or 5 stones
with a self-atari move.   If the opponent captures, where is the ko?
If the opponent doesn't capture, where is the ko?
