: ( 222aa) The continuation is not that trivial. Both sides must be on their guard here. | |
: White could have done without this move. : He must not live independently at the right, with a move at , instead. White would continue with , capturing five of Black's stones in the corner. In addition, White would gain about 25 points, because the dissolving of the hanezeki would be no longer mandatory for her. : : ( C 222nc) However, he would gain in the Semeai Variation, if he occupied another liberty of White's left-hand group, instead. Black is par with the Punishment Semeai Liberty Level, so playing any of the large endgame moves of , or , is out of the question. The same is true for , capturing White's single stone in the upper right centre. | |
: : (B 222ne C 222nh ; 118 222nm) Alternatively, he might consider playing the large endgame move of at the upper edge. The final scores will remain unaffected, compared to the correct line below. Capturing White's stones in the lower left or White's single stone in the upper right, however, would be a tiny mistake, as White would be allowed to also win the alternative Main Variation. : (C 222nn) She would lose two points overall, if she connected her two stones in the lower left, instead. | |
: : ( 127 222nq) : | |
Black must not play any reduction. After her decision point, White will play the hene of at the upper edge. | |
