Who wins the capturing race?

Solution



Bill: The first player.

Bonus question: How many external liberties does White have?

Hint: It's not a number.

Could have sworn the answer was two, Bill. With hints like that, who needs problems. Charles Matthews

Bill: I think we are using liberty in two different senses. I think you mean the number of adjacent empty points. I mean how many plays it takes to fill those points.

unkx80: You mean approach moves?

Bill: Yes.

Charles: I think the current normal pedagogic idea is that one counts the approach moves in as liberties. That is at least implied on the liberty page. Of course there is a CGT optic available, too; which is what Bill is alluding to, here.
