TA 1999 Problem 1 Solution
  Difficulty: Advanced   Keywords: Problem

[Diagram]
Diag.: Solution

Correct is to play Black 1 as here (solution given by Kim Seong-june 6d). White 2 is considered to be forced.

This makes good use of the marked black stones below, strengthening Black's group in the top left considerably.



[Diagram]
Diag.: In the game

In the real game Black played 1 this way. The trouble is that this play doesn't do anything quite so definite. If White plays 2 in the corner as shown, it is White who is more secure. Later a white checking extension at a will be useful.
