Unsettled
Difficulty: Beginner
Keywords: Life & Death
An unsettled shape is a shape whose life or death depends on sente.
Here is a pretty simple case of an unsettled shape. Whoever plays a first will win here (in a certain sense). If Black plays there, he'll live; if White plays there she'll kill Black.
This is another simple shape which is unsettled.
If White plays first, she plays 1, and her group is alive since a and b are miai.
If Black plays first, then White is killed by Black 3. See also: unsettled three, status. This is a copy of the living page "Unsettled" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
