Joseki mistake  

The beginning of the discussion starts with this joseki mistake. Typically, after , black will hane at a, white extends with , and black will play at b to make good shape. However in this example, black makes a mistake and plays . This is an example of ja-choong-soo, a self filling up move.

The point is that one expects a net growth of liberties for each move:

The black 3-4 stone has 3 liberties after the attachment. The two black stone group has three liberties after . Literally, there is no reduction in liberties. However, if we consider that a simple iron pillar increases liberties from 4 to 6 with the addition of the second stone, we can see that the second stone in the example mistake is a net decrease in liberties comparitively.
