(Referenced by 754) , : If the second throw-in (; was at / was at ) is not played, then the stone is not present on the board, and a move at 23 is double-sente, so it must be played at the earliest possible moment.

On the other hand, Black loses a ko-threat by playing at now. For the sake of better comparison, we kept these two moves in the historical order, introduced by Cheng in 1988 [LIT. 3; page 355], for the professional solution. |
