Variations of Our Solution (IIIb)

Tricking KataGo (Triple-Ko)

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

: ( 222bb)
White connects, instead of cutting at .

:
Black defends his corner by also connecting.

He must be careful here.
Indending to maximise his territory in the corner by connecting at , instead, will be a mistake.

:


White defends her territory in the upper right, also continuing with the Main Semai.

:
Black captures White's two stones in the lower left.

:
White continues with the endgame at the left side of the board.


:
White's wedge in the left centre is tesuji.

:
White plays KataGo's bad-shape move in the left centre.
This move destroys one point of Black's territory in the left centre, without losing any tempo in the Main Semeai.

:
Black will have to defend this cutting point - sooner or later.

In principle, we have reached a change in the order of moves with Yamada Shinji's tsuke played "late" ( 222ev).

The final scores of the game will become White + 3 / Black + 2.
