Kyu Exercise 82 / Solution

Sub-page of KyuExercise82

This problem really is, White first, Black lives.

Depending on the external circumstances, White can choose to obtain a seki in gote or to capture one Black stone in sente.


Seki in gote

Seki in gote

The seki in gote option is shown here.

Even though Black has no territory now, there are some ramifications in the endgame benefit at or around a due to the connection at B2.



Capture one Black stone in sente

[Diagram]

Capture one black stone in sente

The capture one black stone in sente option is shown here.

Note that if W3 plays at a, the Black connects at b, and White is not able to connect that stone back.
