Black plays 2/3 reductions. In the Capture Variation, White will throw-in at after her decision point, so that Black is forced to also capture at before the end of the game. In the Semeai Variation, White is unable to do so. She would lose another Main Semeai Liberty, resulting in nine liberties for Black's large group at the right. It would survive the semeai, due to Joachim's Final Ko ( 648ag). Black could also simplify the matter if he connected at , and played only 1/2 reductions thereafter, e.g. with slC. The final scores would remain unchanged. | |
