−	~~#REDIRECT~~ [[~~Multiple~~ threat]]	+	A '''double threat''' means that a player has two different options for achieving a specific goal, usually [[virtual connection\|connecting]] two groups of pieces.
		+
		+	A double threat is also sometimes called '''miai''', a Japanese term taken from [[Go]].
		+
		+	== Examples ==
		+
		+	The most basic example is the [[bridge]] as seen below. The starred cells form a double threat: if [[Blue (player)\|Blue]] plays in one of them, [[Red (player)\|Red]] secures the connection by playing in the other.
		+
		+	<hexboard size="2x2"
		+	coords="none"
		+	edges="none"
		+	contents="R a1 b2 E *:(b1 a2)"
		+	/>
		+
		+	The following is another example. Red's two groups are connected by double threat at the two cells marked "*".
		+	<hexboard size="4x5"
		+	coords="none"
		+	edges="none"
		+	contents="R a3 b2 c4 d3 e2 B c3 E :b4 :d1"
		+	/>
		+	If Blue moves at one of the cells marked "*" or its neighbors, Red can respond at the other one, thus guaranteeing a connection between the two groups.
		+
		+	A [[ladder escape fork]] can also be regarded as a kind of double threat.
