TA 1999 Problem 1 Dieter's Attempt
    Keywords: Problem

[Diagram]
Diag.: Manning-Bayer

Focal points: Black has more territory but there is the aji of a. The marked stone can be put in motion. There are big points at b and c. The four White stones form a strong influence but can become weak quite rapidly. I think those stones are the focal point: will they be light or heavy for White ? Black must deal with this issue while keeping sente.

But I lack imagination to deal with the 4 stones. Most tempting is a leaning attack on the marked white stone, but I don't see anything come from it except White territory. For a direct attack the points a are miai, the UL has the b points to solve the issue locally, and c are miai too as said. Therefor, I choose to firmly capture the corner.

And now I'm going to take a peek at the solution ... Dieter
