Here is an elementary life and death problem presented in Kageyama's Lessons in the fundamentals of Go. I was wondering about an alternate solution I think I found. Here it is:
This is the move I am currently thinking about.
If White takes, the shape is reduced to a bulky five and Black can take the vital point:
If not, Black can take the group of three and the best White can do seems to be a dead shape of square four, or maybe bent three.
This is the given solution, resulting in a dead bent four in the corner. Can anyone give me a pointer on whether I'm right or not with my alternate solution?
Bill Spight: Interesting idea! :-)
If Black 5 at 6, White 6 at 5 lives. Thanks for the quick reply -- my brother, to whom I give a few stones when playing, pointed out that it'd end with a ko if I went for the three stones. I worked out the 5 at 6 idea after that. It felt like a nice move though :) --Splice Path: BigQuestionMark · Prev: BQM38 · Next: BQM40 This is a copy of the living page "BQM39" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
