The following sequence arises from the main variation of the 3-3 invasion inside the 4-4 hoshi stone.

After black 1, if white ignores by playing 2, what is the best sequence of play locally for black?

tenuki!
you can not kill them so why bother playing 1?
if you spend 1 more move then you are really in trouble..so i suggest you tenuki now.

Well I can guarantee you that the White corner can't be killed. The best for Black is simply the T14-T16 exchange, but this is just small endgame.

This is a different story. If Black has T13 and it's his turn, then White's corner can be killed.

The original question is whether the 3-3 invasion can be killed. The answer is yes, as long as there is sufficient outside thickness. Black must chase white out into the middle with a move at S16. But this is risky unless black is absolutely certain that white cannot live by escaping.

The turning at :b1: is not sente against the corner. This is actually the reason that White adds another crawl on the second line.

Post subject:  Re: can you kill this 3-3 invasion?

That's what you call "bad" handwriting? I'll have to find some of my old college notes. Of course I never used my notes, so maybe that's why I never learned to make good ones.

I thought that Araban's handwriting is okay. At least I can make out what he is writing.

This always annoys me. "Doctor" means "teacher". Physicians usurped the title and have tried to make it their own. At least in the US a physician has an MD degree. In Britain, unless it has changed since I left, the "family doctor" doesn't even need a doctoral degree, only and MB degree.

Why is a person with an MD degree always referred to as "Dr.", whereas a person with a JD degree just about never is, and PhDs are frequently referred to as "Mr."?
