Hi everybody,

i`m reading "the style of Iyama Yuta" from Yuan Zhou at the moment. At game 2, move 103, he gives a variation for "living in the corner". He writes:

Quote:
"in this situation, Black could live unconditionally in this corner. The Variation "Living in the Corner" below shows the normal sequence."



So, while i`m still very weak at L&D i maybe just have a blind spot, but it think this is KO and not unconditionally alive? Or is it? :scratch:

And if it is... can you tell me how?

While white can limit black to 1 eye black could escape through series of ataris.

First point, I think you got 2 and 4 in wrong order for setup diagram:

$$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |

Secondly, here is the basic idea of how to live without ko due to weaknesses in white's surrounding stones. (There are more sophisticated ways, e.g. play 4 at 6 first):

(variation: if 9 ataris from other side then at a minimum white can live with 12 throw in as below, may even be able to extend from 10 depending on side position)

So it is not so accurate to say this corner is unconditionally alive, as such phrases are normally used to refer to locally enclosed shapes. It would be more accurate to say it is alive due to weaknesses in the surroundings. As some exercises, is it alive when white has the following reinforcement? This is actually a quite common strategy in real games, to get one of these reinforcement stones in sente against some other group you are attacking which would then allow you to kill the corner.

Upps, yes i did ... :)



Thank you (both:) ) for answering my question so good and fast :)

This was really good to learn/understand ...black 8 in your first diagram for example was something i did not thought about at all... next time maybe :geek:

... and thank you for the exercises... will study them
