how about -

[Diagram]
Diag.: diagram 1


then

[Diagram]
Diag.: diagram 2

[Diagram]
Diag.: diagram 3

[Diagram]
Diag.: diagram 4

white will win by 2 points (assuming no prisoners captured earlier)

another question - how come its 2 and not 1?

KarlKnechtel: Surely black 2 at the circled point is much better?

AlexanderYoshi: Clearly there has been a disparity between the last two diagrams. I've corrected this. Another interesting question is if Black plays at the Squared point in the original diagram.

[Diagram]
Diag.: diagram 2 var

DaveSigaty: White 1 in diagram 2 is wrongly placed, isn't it? B2 here is possible because if W intercepts at 3, B4 catches W short of liberties.


[Diagram]
Diag.: diagram 2 var b

Therefore W has to hold back at 1, so what happens after 2?

Hmmmm white loses? I'm not sure. This needs reading out. Thanks for the fix.

Diag.: diagram 5

This? I think white would just connect instead of taking the ko, because to win it would be worthless.
