Yose Dictionary Erratum1
    Keywords: EndGame

Kano's Yose Dictionary, p. 20, diagram 2:

[Diagram]
Diag.: Black error

Indeed, Black has erred, but Kano blames Black 1. Kano ignores the fact that Black 3 and White 8 are miai, and that Black's error is Black 3.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Correct play

Black 3 gets tedomari.
Black 1 - 3 is usually wrong. As it has an atomic weight of 1, Black should normally let White play there. But in this case it is correct.
See Infinitesimals.

Note: Black 1, -- and, in fact, the whole play --, shows that Kano assumed that the surrounding area was White's territory. See Assumptions of Yose Problems.
