Snapback Problem 18 Solution
Keywords: Problem
If Black defends two stones in the simplest way, White has a snapback to capture four stones.
I think that it is important not only to see snapbacks, but to be able to defend against them. Black 1 both breaks the ladder and prevents a snapback. After Black 5 White would hardly be able to get two eyes. Charles Matthews Black 1 is an example of a nose tesuji. I don't get the function of White 2? Why not just go for the snapback? Answer: After Black 1 the snapback does not work anymore. HolIgor This is a copy of the living page "Snapback Problem 18 Solution" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
