Gokyo Seimyo Volume 3 Problem 55

 

This problem is identical to Under The Stones Problem 5, and is very similar to Xuanxuan Qijing Problem 251.

tchan001: In the book, this problem was presented without indicating which player would move first. There were some Japanese comments that went along with it which I could not understand as I cannot read Japanese. Thanks goes to John F. for translating the comments for us.

John F. The text says that this diagram is not really a satisfactory position, but it's a nice idea. As he got it from a person of 1-dan [i.e. pro] strength, Genbi thought he would include it. (But he omits the solution!)
