Oki Wants Ikken Tobi
    Keywords: Shape, Tactics

The name of this shape is a pun on Obi-Wan Kenobi. At the same time it indicates that, when a certain placement (oki) threatens, the following one space jump (ikken tobi) is called for. I discovered this line of play, after having it seen in KanazawaProblem18, KanazawaProblem34 and KanazawaProblem36. It is an example of How to learn from examples ? - a thread on rec.games.go started by Robert Jasiek. # : - 7

White can't connect at W5, because she is suffering from shortage of liberties.
