Variations of Our Solution (IIIa)

No Early Kikashi

VAR (.1) (.4) (.2)

: ( 648dv)
White plays her kikashi in the lower left corner "early".

:
Black connects at the lower edge.

:
White chooses the block at the top, which provides a simple continuation.

If she connected her single stone at the upper edge with a move at , instead, it would result a change in the order of moves with the subvariation immediately above ( 648dx). The final scores would remain unaffected.

:
White must connect the ko - sooner or later.

:
Black connects the other ko at the upper edge.

We have reached a change in the order of moves with the superordinate variation.

White will win both Main Variations by one point.
