Vol. 4 Error? [#866]

LukeNine45: Vol. 4 Error? (2007-02-06 20:06) [#3047]

Can someone with vol. 4 verify for me that they have the "correct" and "failure" solutions switched for problem 43? (I'm pretty sure it was #43-- it's this position:)

The "correct" solution shows a bamboo joint, but the text refers to "a" and "b" which only appear on the "failure" diagram.
Also a question on a related problem:

is their solution-- what did I do wrong in my continuation? or does this sequence hurt white+circle enough that it's ok for black?

Hmm maybe I know what's wrong:

Is this 9 correct?

Paul Clarke: white+circle seems to have moved in your answer diagrams. I'm pretty sure that's against the rules :-).

Paul Clarke: More constructively, the original position is a joseki that's discussed in EasyWayOutOfADoubleKakari.

Right-- they list that way as the "wrong" answer, but I think the diagrams are switched.

Sorry, I wasn't clear-- It's two separate (though similar) problems. I didn't show the solution for the first one. :)

Yes, the diagrams are swapped over.

The "correct answer" diagram (the right-hand one) could have this continuation:

Black is happy to give away the marked stones in exchange for the marked white stone and a large territory on the side.

Thanks, that's what I thought. :)
