As I always find real board problems quite interesting and helpful, I wanted to share with you a position, that occurred in one of my games.

The black group on the right side of the board is in danger, but there is a way to safe those stones!

Thanks for the post.

I think white plays at 7 as soon as black plays 1.

I think White resigns as soon as Black plays :b1: because Black is leading by 40-50 points. But otherwise I would capture at S1 (which is sente), so that T2 is not sente anymore.

Nice example of why you shouldn't play endgame sente too early (or as timesuji)!

Thanks for pointing out the subtleties of this position @uberdude ! You're right about the exchange in the top right ;-)

(I added “b”)

Why would :w2: be better at “a”? White can’t get “b” with white “a” unless white captures - but that doesn’t seem worse than with :w2:.. and with :w2:, white could sacrifice stones in ko if necessary.

Because :w2: filled in one of white's own liberties which made the shortage of liberties tesuji of the game work for black.

Haha, yeah. I looked at this thread earlier but forgot the nuance here. I was too zoomed in on the local situation.
