Xuanxuan Qijing Problem 36 / Solution

[Diagram]

Solution

1) After W6 there are two possibilities; see below for a different option for Black.

2) After B7, White may play W8 at B9. If so, then Black plays at W8 instead. (After B7, the points W8 and B9 are miai for Black.)

Alternative for B7 in the first diagram

After W6 in the first diagram above, Black can also play B1 here instead. It's unusual that a move at the 1-1 point works! Afterwards:

1) if White b then Black a and Black is alive (if White c then Black d)

2) if White a then Black b as in the main line.

3) if White c then Black d; then a and b are miai for Black to live.
