AdamMarquis: The first thing I notice is that White can destroy the eye on the left, in gote. at
.
at the marked white stone. If White did this, Black would simply play in the bulky five on the right (a) to make two eyes.
AdamMarquis: seems to bow before
. Now White must stop a second eye in two places, but both are gote (a and b).
AdamMarquis: How about this ? Black must play
, or get no eyes on this side.
is also forced, to stop Black from getting two (three even) eyes here. After
, Black is in a rough place: all he can do is make an eye in gote on one side or the other with a or b. Unless I missed something, which is very possible ^_^, Black can't live after
.
unkx80: Nice attempt, but sad to say, not quite there yet.
Tjalveboy Isn't black alive? Black can play under the stones in the corner, cant he?
