TA 1999 Problem 1 Solution
Difficulty: Advanced
Keywords: Problem
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.
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. This page is part of the Trigantius archives. This is a copy of the living page "TA 1999 Problem 1 Solution" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
