Beginner Exercise 230

  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Life & Death, Problem

Recall that the L-group is dead, and no combination of hanes can help the L-group live.

[Diagram]

L-group

This is a sequence given on the L-group page. If B1, then the combination of W2 and W4 kills. Note that the order of W2 and W4 can be interchanged.

L-group

In other words, W2 can play the hane first as shown in this diagram to kill.


[Diagram]

Problem

When there are the black+circle stones, then W2 and W4 still kills. The question is: is the order of W2 and W4 interchangable?


[Diagram]

Problem

That is, can White play W2 to kill?
