Rectangular Six
    Keywords: Life & Death

A group with a big eye with the shape of a rectangular six, is alive except for rectangular six in the corner.

Diag.: Rectangular six

Here, the eyespace is at the side, but in the center the implications are the same. The vital points are a and b and they are miai:


[Diagram]
Diag.: Main line

White 2 makes miai of a and b to live with six points.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Variation

White 2 makes miai of a and b to live with six points.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Two moves in a row

If White 4 elsewhere, White is still alive but now in seki: Black can at most almost fill with a bent four. However, this seki is not valid for rectangular six in the corner.
