shape game
White to move and make a living group. Black to prevent that. Black has to mind only about destroying white's shape, since his stones are connected by the marked stones at the sides anyway. Likewise, White has to care only about good shape: connect and make eyes. ChessWhiz: By the way, does anyone know the answer to this exercise? Can White live, or can Black kill unconditionally? Or maybe it's a ko? :-) evpsych: Why ikken tobis all around? If I were white, I would try more than just good shape. I would place two stones in dual-purpose moves on the second line such that the stones could form an eye on the inside, then ladder black around the edge of the board if black fails to protect the edge. If black protects, I would use the two stones on the inside. This is a copy of the living page "shape game" at Sensei's Library. (C) the Authors, published under the OpenContent License V1.0. |
