Tsumego From Games 44 / Attempts

Tderz: alive as it stands? If white tries to kill s/he suffers mochikomi, on the other hand, if black tries to swallow and live too big, he might die in damezumari of a pseudo-seki ^[2]. Unimaginative endgame ^[1] can lead to 5 (up to possible 8) points difference with best play (diagrams ^[4], resp. ^[3]).

Black has 2 points, White made 1, hence B+1 - W+1 = net 1 point for Black, hence 5 points better for White than ^[1].

Hence, White's oki-play seems to be a good endgame technique.

Is this the result? endgame? B+2 - W+4 , hence 8 points better for White than below ^[1].

attention! dead by "pseudo-seki"

Yet, if white simply plays the unimaginative , black runs the same risk, when answering with the careless .

If now white a is answered by black b, everything reverts to dia. ^[2] above (death).

However this way, a and b are miai and black lives with 6 points.

unkx80: Anything wrong with this?

ilan: Seems like White will have to make an inline 4 to atari Black, so this leads to seki.
