Net example 9
Difficulty: Advanced Keywords: Tactics
Black has a choice of net captures of
:
- Black at a;
- Black at b (this looks like a ladder but isn't: if white d then black e)
- Black at c.
After the throw-in
here, Black captures the
stones (in a ladder, if White connects at
).
Of these three nets, one prefers number 1 to number 3 on the choose the firmer capture principle - though that doesn't always apply when building influence.
There is a problem with choice 2, namely
after
. It might depend whether Black actually wanted to provoke the
/
exchange. If so, choice 2 is better than choice 1.
