I evaluate the following carpenter's square as a local endgame on the marked locale. I apply the modern endgame theory explained in [14].

For Black's start, I presume this sequence:

Furthermore, I assume this sequence and the studied variations to be dominating. Further study should verify this. If a different ko variation should be dominating, the values might have to be corrected slightly. White starts on the 2-2, of course.


The most important conclusions are as follows:


Initial position:

Count = 4 2/3

Move value = 11 2/3

Type = gote

Length of sequence worth playing successively = 1


In practice, it can often be correct to play the first five moves successively because their gains are at least 10 2/3 and therefore similar to the initial move value. The gains of the 6th and especially 7th moves are much smaller though: 5 2/3 and 1 2/3.


Moves with move value 9 2/3 (as in the created ko):

Moves 8 to 11.

In particular, it would be a mistake to derive the wrong initial values from the sente follower after move 10 as the count 2 2/3 and move value 9 2/3, as done in the book Yose Size List.

The locale is marked.

M is the move value of the currently studied hypothesis and position.

Gb1, Gb2,... are the gains of move 1, 2,... of Black's alternating sequence of the currently studied hypothesis and position.

Gw1, Gw2,... are the gains of move 1, 2,... of White's alternating sequence of the currently studied hypothesis and position.

So far, we assume, but do not verify, that Black's alternating sequence and its variations shown are dominating.

Many thanks, Robert! :D

You may need some SGF tags in that post. :)

I did a fairly thorough analysis of the Carpenter's Square in the early 2000s. If I didn't trust you I might try to dig it up now. (Java problems on my machine make that difficult at the moment.) Sometime this year I may have something to add to the discussion.

Adelante!

SGF tags do not help because my file is more complicated on its SGF-level than supported here.

Your later additions are welcome, also because it is so easy to make accidental mistakes, such as overlooking another but relevant variation.

Here is an SGF with some Carpenter's Square variations. For evaluation you need to add more, OC. :)

Gomoto, how do you evaluate the Carpenter"s Square?

I try to avoid it, I lost once a tournament game because misevaluating it.


I have only found one pro game with carpenter square in my database of recent games (It is a game of Yeonwoo by the way! Perhaps something for her channel.):
