HolIgor meets triple ko
    Keywords: 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 White 1 and Black 2, Black cannot win the ko because White has an infinite number of ko threats 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.
