B Q M 14
   

[Diagram]
Diag.: The corner

White has the corner sealed off like in this diagram. Clearly, Black can't live invading sansan. A and B are miai after the moves to 5. Even if the white stones are set as far as the 7th or 8th line, I found it impossible to creat a living group. At 10, I lived and at 9 I didn't, but of course here my limited skill became a factor.

What does the SL visitor think about this ? What is the cutting edge for White's stones to be away from the corner, before Black can live ?

-- Dieter

I seem to remember this being something professionals had investigated, with the agreement being black cannot live even with white stones on the tenth line. Or maybe 10th line made it ko or seki? I think we should investigate. :)

-- MattNoonan

Was this based on assuming an invasion at sansan only? I would imagine that at a 10x10 enclosure, starting at the 3-4 point makes miai out of a shimari or an extension to the 3-7 point and it might be possible to scrape out a measly living ... ?
