Tsumego From Games 41 / Attempts

Sub-page of TsumegoFromGames41

This page uses an experimental move navigating system. How to deal with it?

  • First, click at "Start" in order to position the initial diagram correctly.
  • Then, just click at any of the red-shadowed variant move points, and you'll feel like placing a stone there. You don't need to scoll at any time unless you want to see this text again.
  • To go back to the previous diagram, choose "Back" (near the upper left corner of the current diagram).

Please see /Discussion for a discussion of the system.

White to move.

First, here comes the original situation again, but shown as whole board.Thanks. Just click at the link markers to go to the corresponding solution attempts.

(When adding a variation, please place it in the appropriate section and/or create a new link marker, respectively.)

Diagram 1. - Back

jfc: white 1 through 7 are sente here and buy white a few extra liberties at b as black must capture the white stones before playing a. After this c seems natural for white. I've played a few variations from here to conclusion and it seems like white wins.

Tesuji cut. - Back

Charles Have tesuji gone out of style on SL?

This looks like an interesting way for White to gain some time in the corner?

[Diagram]

Tesuji continuation. - Back

Chris Hayashida: I didn't understand the result of Charles's diagram. I found something similar (in "Tesuji", oddly enough) so I added the continuation. This sets up a multi-stage ko in the corner. Is this the correct continuation?



Charles That is one of two possible kos that should be looked at here. White has several possible local threats. It's a deceptive position, I think. White might get a poor result by playing a threat at the circle point, and a better one by playing at the square point.

Back 1.2

[Diagram]

Furikawari - Back

Bill: I think that the surroundings are relevant. For instance,

Suppose that B2 lives in exchange for the corner. How to assess this variation depends upon the aji of white+circle and the possible attack against the white+square stones.

If the Black group in the top left corner lives, Black can attack White's group on the top side.

Can White take Black's eyes first? - Back

Dave: In this type of position I think the first question is whether White can play W1 in sente. This destroys Black's eye shape. After this if White turns to the corner, Black does not have the option of playing at 1 and living on the upper edge.

Back 2.1.1.1

[Diagram]

Black descent, White hane - Back

Dave: Descending at B1 reduces the corner aji and threatens to connect. However, the hane at W2 looks effective. If B3 then after W4 Black can not play both a and b at the same time.

Black descent, White hane (2) - Back

Dave: So Black switches to this B3, B5. Can White create enough liberties in the corner to win the fight? The aji of the two White stones looks effective.
