key move?

xela: I find this very counter-intuitive, but I'm sure that nothing else can possibly work!

unkx80: It seems to me that the Gokyo Shumyo has quite a few themes that are repeated across several problems. For example, the two-stone edge squeeze seems to appear in a number of problems. This diagonal move on the first line seems to be another example.

[Diagram]

variation 1

xela: Black suffers from shortage of liberties and can't play a.

[Diagram]

variation 2

xela: Again, black is not able to play either a or b.

[Diagram]

variation 3

xela: This way white connects out safely. (Bonus question: is white+circle necessary for the connection? I can't see why--but it's usually not a coincidence when stones like that appear in these problems...)


[Diagram]

Attempt 2 (failure)

Note that a monkey jump does not connect White. However, if B2 at W3, then W3 at B2 reverts to Variation 3.
