Snapback Problem 6 / Solution
Sub-page of SnapbackProblem6
Scartol: Insofar as this is a snapback workshop, I feel like the question in question is about whether to extend to a or capture immediately at Dieter: The problem diagram says it is yose time. So White making two eyes is not the issue here. Well, some pro games of course ... Jasonred I don't see how White can fail to make an eye, even giving Black two moves in a row, I see a solid eye at c, an easy eye when White eventually extends up to b (or almost anywhere... there's space for four eyes if Black and White conspire to let White exercise some artistic judgement). In any case, isn't there a basic rule or something about this shape?
That rule being... never extend to a... unless it's a sacrificial move or something or if you have stones on both b and c... or... well, mostly, don't extend to a, you're just making things worse... This is a copy of the living page "Snapback Problem 6 / Solution" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
