Black's group has eight effective liberties (3 * c, 2 * b, g, j, k), so it is safe from the Punishment Semeai. However, White's centre group has six effective liberties (w, 3 * c, g, j). Please note that the ko-shape at j (it is Black's turn to capture) provides White with an approach-move liberty. Black must have lost a move beforehand, and we can assume that White will win unconditionally. |
