Endgame Tesuji 1 / Discussion

Sub-page of EndgameTesuji1

Bill: I vote for restoring the previous version. The given example has become more complex, without a clear point.

nando: Fine with me. My purpose was to emphasize the virtues of the circled stone (in the first diagram of the previous version) compared to the hane. Maybe it would be more clear if the stones were shifted to the right (and on another page) ?

Bill: What about leaving the original as the first example, and then showing an example with the sagari as sente? E. g.,

[Diagram]

Black to play

B1 is sente. If White plays W2 elsewhere, Black has a 3 point sente at a, as in the first example.

How about that?

nando: yeah, it's just that after second thoughts, I think you're right, my comments are more confusing than useful and the page should simply return to its previous state (moreover I realize I've used some terms very improperly, dunno what I was thinking, sorry).

The only time I've used the 'revive' option, it didn't give me the option of choosing which older version to reinstantiate. Do you happen to know if I can just use 'revive' twice or should I let someone else do the job ?

unkx80: Since it is not possible non-librarians to revive twice, I have done it and also updated the text. Please look at the page and see if it is okay.

Bill: Nando, your idea was a good one, and the page is better for it. :-) I am afraid that I did not fully appreciate it at first, but a lot of people would make the mistake of playing the hane instead of the sagari. It makes for a good example to go with the original. Thanks.

nando: Thanks to you both, unkx80 and Bill =) By the way, speaking of endgame moves, I was wondering about following one, which I couldn't find on SL :

Proper block

Do you happen to know if it's really missing on SL ? If yes, do you think it would be worth a few words on some page ?
