I recently came across an interesting game in one of the online tournaments: The question is, after white's move, can black defend the corner without a ko? |

That said, I think on re-examination, white can play at  instead and black can either play an unfavourable ko or connect and let white connect under.Edit: Nevermind, I'm still counting four for some reason. |

Phillip: Black is captured, because he cant approach a, so white b next captures. |

Thanks, so it does seem that a ko is unavoidable. FYI, the original game is here. I missed white's refusal at (4,1) at first glance. |
