Feylias

PageType: HomePage   Difficulty: Introductory   Keywords: Life & Death

Heya. So, I'm Feylias, and it's been a while since I've had a page here. I'm getting weaker at go and when I play, it's as "Mallowpeep" on KGS.

I'm currently futzing around on the Android applet "Android Go Problems" and I found this:

White's turn. Android Go Problems Pro v0.7, (c) Mike Konkov

"Solution"

So this was what the program wanted.

What am I missing? White looks dead to me and her move looks pointless. No matter what, black can create a dead shape within white and lose nothing; I admit that I'd tenuki.

Solution

The given solution is wrong, but W1 here gives a ko, so tenuki might not be the best option.
