HolIgor meets triple ko
   

Sooner or later it happens.

[Diagram]
Diag.: White resigned

I was holding black.

In the following position white resigned in the actual game. But she could resist.

Consider this as a problem. I will post a solution in several days.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Jigo

After W1 and B2 black cannot win the ko because white has infinite number of ko-threat in the right top corner.

It's a triple ko, a very unfortunate thing. Yesterday, I backed up letting somebody pass and stepped on a toe of a girl behind me. It did hurt.

Stefan: My god! The curse continues...!

dnerra: What was the komi? :)

HolIgor: The komi was 5.5. My opponent resigned though. Either he did not see this or was trying to avoid invoking the curse.
