Blighting/discussion

Sub-page of Blighting

Could we find another, better example for 'blighting' ?

In the given example above:

[Diagram]

shapes

I would like to check whether white+circle is the best answer or
something else, e.g.

[Diagram]

shapes

this is not good for W.

[Diagram]

shapes

or

[Diagram]

shape alternatives

[Diagram]

bad W shapes

[Diagram]

B2 is not successful

[Diagram]

bad W shapes - miai I and K

[Diagram]

Isn't Black well-off?

A and B are miai
If W blocks at B, W cuts at A and threatens D or C.
If W connects with A or G, B still can enter at E.

In any of above cases, the marked white+circle feel dead.
That's why I tried to find any good way for White in above situation - however to no avail.
If so, then above allegedly bad blighting sequence is actually a good one, isn't it? tderz


This sort of thing often happens in beginner games:

B4 is a mistake: black+circle is blighted. B4 should be at W5.
