Variations of Our Solution (II)

VAR (C) (B) (A) (B) (.1)

: ( 245)
Black plays the kikashi of Michael Redmond.

: (A 247)
White answers with the solid connection.

:
Giving atari at , instead, is three points better for White, but she will still lose the game.

:
Therefore, Black needs the "guzumi effect" to get sufficient liberties.

:
We have reached the position before the mutual connection of opponent's liberties. Black's group in the top right has 12 liberties (), so it is save from the Punishment Semeai.

Black will win the game, due to the profit that he gained in the top left corner already.
