1001 Problems Erratum 10
Rich: 'a' is given as the correct answer, but in the book the continuation shows black killing white; this assumes sub-optimal play by white (a seki obtained by playing at 'b'). While seki is technically alive, it is less desirable than out-and-out life. Zook: Seki is often the solution to a L&D problem. If the author decides to give a less optimal variation for the attacker as the main line, it is because many people may miss the point.
I assume this is the diagram given. Black kills White: due to shortage of liberties she can't make a Bulky Five. That's a point the author assumes to be missed more easily than the seki.
In any case, This is a copy of the living page "1001 Problems Erratum 10" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
