The following diagram comes from a game I was asked to discuss for the GTL. Where would you, not being caught up in the sequence of moves, play in this position ? Dieter
If it's White to play, it looks like White needs to make a big group live with 1 here. That's one eye, and there are two half eyes in this group.
Dieter: White to play. I didn't think of the aggressive attack Black has but I agree that the status of White's group is uncertain if not unsettled. The only Black group showing a weakness is the lower left corner. Therefore I thought that the marked white stone in your last diagram occupies a vital spot for both and thus must be the biggest point on the board.
