Hikaru79 Assuming it's White's play next, can this shape be killed?
Anonymous: No. Only if there are White stones at a and b, White can kill with White c, Black d, White e.
Joonas Tyystjärvi: I'm quite probably missing something here, but I don't think white has even a ko threat here. After
, a and b are miai for black, and this looks like fairly silly endgame.
unkx80: Typically
is played here. Later, Black a, White b, and Black c, White d, so Black has 6 points.
