HolIgor: requires verification.
Charles Assume that Black can't resist when White plays a, and Black must play b. Then the value is 4.5 if Black c will be sente later, or 5.5 if White at c hane-connect is sente later. That is, White gains four points anyway and takes away the circled points in the diagram above. The value is at least 4.5; if White also has c in sente to take away the square-marked points it is 5.5. As Bill says, we tend to need the boundaries of territories to be marked.
HolIgor: I assumed
But in this case Black needs a to be protected. Charles Yes: so is

(Assumes infinite White territory to the right.) Charles Bill, you edited this out - a problem ...? Bill: The problem is that it is not correct play, given the conditions. The monkey jump is. Yes, if you play it, you pick up 3 points. But values are based upon correct play. You assume that your opponent's play is correct to obtain a value. Yours should be, too. Charles OK - I think it would be useful either to have 'starred' status for something as conceptually basic as this one; or to include it in a footnote or other area. And to decide whether, for example, the comparison with the small monkey jump should be done on-list or off-list.
