Segoe Tesuji Problem 2
Keywords: Tesuji, Problem, Books & Publications
As an example of the tesuji problems in this book not always doing what you would expect (this is an A-difficulty problem), consider the following problem from volume 3 (2 in the old one), from the section on getas:
It appears that black can capture the four white stones in a net, as follows or with a similar loose move.
That is not the given answer, however. This is:
Even though black can capture the four white stones with a looser net, he opts for a tigher net knowing that he can squeeze for an even *better* result if white tries to get out. Remember, these are half-board problems to get a good result, not always simple "capture the stones" problems. This is a copy of the living page "Segoe Tesuji Problem 2" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
