Practical Endgame Test Four Solution
Since unkx80 posted a correct solution almost before my mouse button cooled off from posting the problem, I have taken the liberty of moving it here from the analysis page. Compared to the book there are a few differences in the order of the ko threats but they are all correct. --DaveSigaty
Seems to me that black and white have 6 ko threats each. Assuming black takes the ko first... (I think that W playing 8 instead of just continuing with 9 is one of the nice ideas in the problem. I know that I many times playing ko threats rather superficially without thinking of all alternatives. --DaveSigaty)
(I think that finding B 3 is the other really nice point of this problem. For me it is natural to play B at 9 in such shapes automatically when looking for ko threats. --DaveSigaty)
... looks like black wins. Any better answers, comments or objections? -- unkx80 This is a copy of the living page "Practical Endgame Test Four Solution" at Sensei's Library. (C) the Authors, published under the OpenContent License V1.0. |
