Suggest your answer(s) here... -Kris Rhodes
Note that for Black to connect at 1 leads to a hideous loss. (Yes, I assumed this was the answer until I gave it more thought.) -- Bignose
What about this elegant move (B1)? White can't break in. Kris: I think there is a move worth one more point - but of course, Black wins in either case.
Lucky: Black can play any of the marked points with the same result. If white captures three stones...
... after W3 black can connect. Black wins by 7 points.
If black does nothing (plays pass) it cannot connect after W3.
White takes ko and has more threats (see HolIgor sequence). So white connects ko and black wins by 6 points. Black lost a point. This is a copy of the living page "Answer To Simple Endgame Problem" at Sensei's Library. (C) the Authors, published under the OpenContent License V1.0. |
