Igowin plays a short game

  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Life & Death

Igowin occasionally gives up very early (due to its blunder?) An example:

[Diagram]

igowin at 21 kyu; W 5 = pass

Let's be frank here... If I was playing a 21 kyu at this point, I'd give up too...

[Diagram]

igowin at 23 kyu; W 5 = pass

Either Igowin doesn't want to play me anymore or B4 is some sort of Tesuji I don't consciously know about. :)

Dead

Charles Matthews You don't need to know much life and death to kill White now. If Black can see that White's cut at a is no big deal, and plays B4, White is extremely dead after B6.
