Cutting Lantern Procession
   

I read about this business in a book on proverbs; but, was unable to find anything about it on SL. Apparently, the line of two space extensions (the author calls a lantern procession) can be cut -- though many think it can't be.

The author states that one would simply "attach and crosscut." I have had little success with this attack and for some reason the author didn't elaborate on the technique.

HolIgor: I don't think that anything good would come from a cut of this position. You need some help from outside if you want to cut. Are the stones in the line placed efficiently? I don't think so. 20 points without the corner. If you can't cut just try to limit it. Keshi works.
