BQM39
Here is an elementary life & death problem presented in Kageyama's "Lessons in the fundamentals of Go". I was wondering about an alternate solution I think I found. Here it is:
This is the move I am currently thinking about.
If white takes, it is reduced to a bulky five and black can take the vital point:
If not, black can take the group of three and the best white can do seems to be a dead shape of square four, or maybe bent three.
This is the given solution, resulting in a dead bent four in the corner.
Can anyone give me a pointer on wether I'm right or not with my alternate solution?
Bill Spight: Interesting idea! :-)
If B 5 at 6, W 6 at 5 lives.
Thanks for the quick reply -- my brother, to whom I give a few stones when playing, pointed out that it'd end with a ko if I went for the three stones. I worked out the 5 at 6 idea after that. It felt like a nice move though :) --Splice This is a copy of the living page "BQM39" at Sensei's Library. (C) the Authors, published under the OpenContent License V1.0. |
