As we know already ( 882), White loses 23 points when capturing Black's centre group. This is because the hanezeki is dissolved thereafter, and White loses more stones than she has previously captured in the centre. |

... we can see that Black wins by approximately 40 points. It is thus a mistake to capture Black's centre group so early. It also is understandable, that, with such an easy victory, the oki will be given the back seat, and that the relatively small territorial effect of the oki will fade into oblivion during the next 60 moves. | |
