Value Of AMonkey Jump / Discussion
WTD: Thanks for the sequence Bill. It's not one I'd ever have thought of. Although the result is amazingly good after the 'fire and forget' monkey jump, it appears to be the same (Jigo) as that from m3, rather than being bigger.
Bill: If Black played consistently, rather than switching to the bottom in midstream, he would lose by one point.

In the main branch of m3, W avoids ko by playing

Black still gets jigo by winning the final ko.
Because it allows , is locally inferior (given no ko threats on either side).
Thanks for that clarification Bill. I've added the 'bigger' diagram sequence (on the parent page) to problem ![[ext]](images/extlink.gif)
5633, and will give it a fuller final comment after taking on board the implications.
