MiaiCountingProblem1/Attempts

(with color reversed)

Just happened upon this old question (how much are a & b, IF a is gote...)

here is my take, but first I dont think a is gote...

1/ lets suppose it is :

123 is a classic 1 point gote miai value but we still need to add the value of the cut left at c when W tenuki. From Corner12ConnectionValue we know that c is worth 2 2/3

so a in gote (or b) would be worth 1 + (2 2/3)/2 = 2 1/3

2/ Is it gote ? If a is worth 2 1/3, then it's worth less than c, which means that it is the biggest gote left for W after (unless there was a mistake or this was used as a ko threat)

3/ So why was the initial hanetsugi gote in Corner12ConnectionValue then ? if I understand correctly, in that situation the initial hanetsugi was way bigger, because it was sente for W :

In this situation, (or ) is actually worth 3 + (2 2/3)/2 = 4 1/3 so if it makes sense for B to play in reverse sente, the temperature is now a lot higher than 2 2/3, and it also makes sense for W to tenuki in the corner

Did I miss something ?
