The History of the Problem's Final Score

(1999 - 2011)

2009 - The Semeai Variation

(Referenced by 880; 1119)


:
This reduction of White's corner territory affects the Capture Variation only. So White will choose the Semeai Variation, shown here, which is better for her. The additional stones (/), played by Black and White at upper right, now compensate for each other.

Please note that - from here on - we consider the missing 71st Black stone in the prisoner count.

:
White must choose the classical endgame here. The tsuke of Yamada Shinji at is not available here, because White's group on the left side is dead.

The game ends with a four-point win for Black.
