Corridor
  Difficulty: Intermediate   Keywords: EndGame, Theory

Go positions that are effectively one-dimensional. They are numbers and infinitesimals in chilled go, in which they are analyzed in terms of combinatorial game theory (CGT).

Examples:

Closed corridor

Open corridor


(Sebastian:) Besides their use for theoretical considerations, can there anything interesting be said about them for practical play, other than that the bamboo joint is an open corridor?

Bill: The whole point of chilling is practical play. :-) It enables already known results in CGT to be applied to go.
