Diag.: W can't connect

The oki of B 1 aims at White's damezumari. If White protects at 2, Black ataris at 3.

Diag.: (iii)


The first problem is that after W 2 the local temperature has dropped to 1 point. Plays B 3 - B 7 come later, if at all. White also has a 1 point gote.

The second problem is that W 2 is probably wrong.

White's correct play depends on what lies to the left of the diagram. By the usual assumptions of yose problems, it is open Black territory. In that case, W 2 is wrong.

Correct solution
