Bulky Five
Bulky five refers to a certain unsettled nakade of five points.
The key point in the bulky five is the marked point. If white plays there, she is alive. If black plays there, white is dead. To look at other live and dead nakade (eyespaces), follow the link. --MortenPahle (10k) White can also be alive playing below the marked point, isn't it? --Shinnosuke (20-25k) Yes, white can also live by playing at 'a' (creating an L-shaped four)or at 'b' (creating a zig zag four). However, there are two points worth noting: 'a' doesn't work if the Bulky Five is crammed into the corner, as this will create a Bent Four in the Corner and both 'a' and 'b' leave black with ko threats: playing at the marked point threatens to kill the whole group. A play by white at the marked point doesn't have these problems. --Jan (15k) This is a copy of the living page "Bulky Five" at Sensei's Library.
