: She does not want to capture the hanezeki's tail with a move at , instead, so resolving the hanezeki, because she will lose the game thereafter. She simply lacks a decisive amount of Black prisoners, which she otherwise would get during step-wise reduction of the nakade at the left edge. : Black might consider taking White's group at the left a Main Semeai Liberty by playing at , instead. However, this move will not have the expected result, but lose one point overall, as can be seen at VAR ( 648ku). | |
: (A 648cn)
We now know that White's move loses a tempo in the Main Semeai. In principle, doing without this atekomi might also be possible for White. The overall result of the game will not be affected, but Black will benefit in the Semeai Variation. | |
:
We now know that this atari is not necessary. We ask for your kind understanding that we did not delete this exchange that loses a ko threat for Black unnecessarily. White is comfortably ahead in ko threats, so Black would have no chance at all to win Dany's Ko anyway, even with one more ko threat. : Choosing Dany's Sacrifice, instead, would not benefit her. | |
: White is comfortably ahead in ko threats (10 x vs. 7 x ), and so would win Dany's Ko anyway. | |
