Variations of Our Solution (IIIb)

Tricking KataGo (Triple-Ko)

VAR (C) (A) (.2) (.1)

: ( 222ao)
White plays the "classical" atari at the upper edge "very early".

...

: (A 222ar)
Black closes his upper left corner.

Immediately capturing White's two stones in the lower left, instead, would be too early, losing points in the Semeai Variation unnecessarily.

After this move, Black is par with the Punishment Semeai Liberty Level again.

: ( 115 222av)
White sacrifices her two stones in the lower left and defends in the guzumi area, also continuing with the Main Semeai.

If she connected her two stones in the lower left, instead, she would gain in the Semeai Variation.


: ( 117 222ba)
White continues with the "classical" way to reduce Black's territory in the left centre.

However, if she played the recently discovered wedge at , instead, she would gain one point overall.


:
In principle, we have reached a change in the order of moves with the superordinate variation.

The final scores of the game will become Black + 1 / Black + 4
