This position arose in a game on 23 May 2005. After W1, does Black need to defend his position in the corner or can he tenuki? Seki is not good enough. Black must keep this corner. From a KGS game between a 4k and an 11k?


Bildstein: I can't say what Black's best attack against W3 here is, but W3 does seem to make an eye at the same time as stopping Black from getting two, suggesting a seki at least:

Velobici: Yes, in the game Black tenuki'ed. W3 ended up creating a seki. Black was not pleased.

Forces seki?
