... I literally tried every point but that one
Well, I suppose that's why I'm practicing!
And thank you Richard, I'll keep that in mind as I continue through the series.

Hi y'all, I'm working through Cho's Encyclopedia of Life and Death as transcribed onto tasuki. This is problem 46 in the second volume; black to play and kill. I can't find the correct variation, if there is one (supposedly there are some incorrect transcriptions). Halp, please? |

Cynosure, It looks correct and solvable to me. The first two principles of life and death are: 1. Reduce the eye space from the outside. 2. Play at the vital point. It is usual to try 1 first, and if that does not work, try 2. Ha! Someone posted the answer at exactly the same time as my post. |

In Solomon's second diagram, B3 at F19 is better at F17. |

Remember the attacking point which you will see again and again. If reducing eye space doesn't work, the next level of attack is always this kind of move. |

White's potential eye space consists of three points. At the left, there is a dead three-point eye shape visible, which central point is still unoccupied. White's maximum potential eye space consists of five points. But (1): There are two holes in White's encirclement. But (2): There is a line of false eyes at the right. However, it needs permanent stones on BOTH ends of such a line to make it work. But (3): Yet another line of false eyes at the right. Do not let your opponent turn their potential eye space into a long line of points. Do not let your opponent divide their potential maximum eye space. Especially, if you leave a dead eye shape behind, which central point can be occupied by your opponent. |

While we are at this, could someone help me solve this one? I kinda know what needs to be done but I can't find the tesuji to prevent white from approaching the black corner group right away. |

Think twice before giving atari ! In tsume-go, this advice usually applies for the first move of the solution sequence. + + + + + And also mind the lines of false eyes. |
