Stone Escape 1

    Keywords: Problem

The problem thus far:

[Diagram]
This Black stone to escape White "geta" and live.  

Black will need to connect out while being mindful of it's own liberties. A careless player can die here if the weakness in White's shape isn't utilised.


[Diagram]
Obvious move and response  

If Black played elsewhere, White would be able to play at 1 and reduce the liberties of the Black stone while strengthening White's other stones.


[Diagram]
Black uses the weakness  

The timing for Black 5 is vital. White's options all result in Black getting away.


Variation 1:

[Diagram]
Black escapes  

B7 captures


Variation 2:

[Diagram]
Black still escapes...  
[Diagram]
Black still escapes... continued
