Black begins; all moves forced.

The following parenthetical comment is wrong, considering fractic's comments below. (Actually, W4 should be saved as a ko threat; white is already dead.)

White must capture

Black's throw-in is atari; black wins

fractic: Not so fast, White can play under the stones too.

[Diagram]

White keeps going

White keeps going

fractic: White gets a ko like this. The In a Korean baduk school page has a link to the actual solution.

Slarty: Nooooooo....

If black captures four stones, White lives

In the second diagram, if black captures the four white stones immediately, he fails; white takes the corner with an under the stones tesuji.


Dave: I think Black has to increase the sacrifice to yield a better shape.

[Diagram]

White has to answer around 2 to prevent Black's escape

[Diagram]

White is helpless against the placement at 5

[Diagram]
