Black will not benefit from choosing this hiki.

In principle, the marked exchange in the top right corner is also played in those sub-variations of Joachim's Ko-Semeai, where Black gets a larger eye for his top right group. Thus, it is not likely that Black will win here.

Please note that we have not yet thoroughly checked, whether we will still have to synchronise this section with those on Joachim's Ko-Semeai that can be found earlier in this book.

White will win by two points.
