Fool's Seki
Difficulty: Beginner
Keywords: EndGame, Humour
The fool's seki is what you end up with when you have been silly enough to ignore one of your opponents sente moves and play a smaller point elsewhere. Had black 2 been at 3, 4, 5, a, or b, black would get 5 points in the top-right and win the game by 2 after white 2, black c. As it is, he loses by 2 points -- he is one ahead on the board, but with 3 komi, white wins.
