: ( 299)

Here, White captures the single Black stone. This is also shown in the theory chapter as FLAG 7a1 ( 1029).

:
Again, White has one eye only. However, the ko-shape on the upper edge brought her an additional liberty. So we can expect that White will win the semeai unconditionally.

:
Black is unable to connect the hanezeki's tail, instead. White's centre group has more than five liberties, and will win the semeai with Black's connected group on the lower edge.

:
But now, Black's group is below the Punishment Semeai Liberty Level (7 * x), so Black has no other option than to play this move yet.

:
White wins the semeai by one move.
