Ko -- B takes first at 'a'

[Diagram]

No, no ko this way

togo: ... rather W6 here, and Black is dead, White alive.

[Diagram]

Ko -- B takes first at 'a'

[Diagram]

Ko -- Slightly inferior; W takes first at '2'.


[Diagram]

Gote Seki -- in the event the Ko is completely unwinnable

W wins 1 prisoner.

[Diagram]

More seki

togo: Also seki, also gote, also one prisoner. But looks more fancy! Aside from this, regarding B1, playing from outside is generally better; does not matter much here 'though, because playing until final position is pretty much forced. Positions W6 and B7 are miai.


[Diagram]

B tenuki -- W 12 points?

Is it possible to outright kill, or seki in sente?

togo: What about other White plays after Black tenuki?


[Diagram]

Seki in sente

edmundangles: But sadly not sente in both variations.

togo: Unfortunatedly this is not seki, Black is dead here (and White alive).

[Diagram]

Not sente

edmundangles: But sadly not sente in both variations.

togo: Unfortunatedly this is not seki, Black is dead here (and White alive).
