Blind Spot

Chinese: 盲点 (máng diǎn)
Japanese: 盲点 (mouten)
Korean: -

A blind spot is a point where people usually do not consider, but may be the only correct way of playing in a particular situation. Possible blind spots may involve the innocuous-looking squeeze, self-filling moves, empty triangles, and unexpected shortage of liberties.

Sometimes the blind spot is the solution to life and death problems.

Problem 3

I had a blind spot so found this hard even though it's easy. Do you have the blind spot too ? Or can you find the answer quickly ?

This is problem 6 in the elementary level problems of Liping Huang's Problem Series Volume 1, the thin orange softcover book published by Slate and Shell.
