Main line: HashimotoUtaro
Variations: Dieter


[Diagram]
Diag.: Main line

By the way, White 5 is the famous move Sai immediately spots at a children's tournament in HikaruNoGo chapter 3.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Continuation

If Black protects his stone, White captures three to make an eye.



Variations

[Diagram]
Diag.: Variation at 6

If Black destroys an eye at 1, White surprisingly makes one at 2.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Variation (ii) at 6

If Black 3 here, White 4 connects and captures because of damezumari.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Variation (iii) at 6

This way variation (i) still holds its own.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Variation at 4

Maybe this is a ridiculous variation but I couldn't help wondering what happens when Black takes that marvelous 1-2 point himself.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Variation at 2

Anyone?

Nando: Well, this one doesn't make sense to me. Where are White 7 and Black 8 ? I tried to find a follow-up while assuming that White 9 is actually White 7, but I couldn't figure a way for White to save the main group. I also tried to add various 7-8 intermediate exchanges, but none made sense either. So, could you please enlighten me, Dieter ? I cannot. I corrected the editing error so you can erase the italics if you want. This is a variation I came up with and I can't find the refutation. So my question "anyone?" means "can someone help me out ?" --Dieter

Nando: Stupid me, sorry. =) Well, I gave it a shot and couldn't find a way to unconditional life for White after Black 2 in this diagram, my best result being ko. By the way Dieter, I just experienced it and I totally agree with what you said at the bottom of the tsumego page. I figured a lot of variations starting with that diagram, and although I didn't succeed in solving the problem, I feel that I've learned quite a lot about shape and the special properties of the corner.
