no result

A no result game ends without a win, loss, or scored draw because it is cancelled or declared void. Under rules that permit it, an unresolvable repetition—classically triple ko—can lead to this outcome. Rules using superko generally prevent such repetitions instead.

The purpose is to handle a game whose positions cannot be resolved by continued play under the applicable repetition rules. No result is not a jigo: a jigo is a completed game with equal scores, while a no-result game has no valid winner or final score. Treatment varies by ruleset; some rules resolve repetition with superko, while others allow or require a no-result declaration.
