P6 captures the cutting stone. P6-Q7-R6 leads to a squeeze and capture.
(P7-Q7-P6-R6 does not work for W).

Could you show us why? I'm still at the 17-18 kyu level so I'd love to see the sequence following it.

My instinct was

to simply turn (and atari) at P8. But I guess P6 also protects the white stone in the lower corner?

answer @kirby: second best variation, but I prefer the P6 tesuji for white instead of R6

Doesn't seem that bad to me - you can just extend from the attachment. But I'm guessing this is from some pro game or commentary, so I'll take your word for it.

As Kirby has alluded to, showing 1 move is insufficient to convince me that move 2 in these diagrams does refute my solution. A general comment on the position is that White seems to be doing very well territoriality. Hence capturing the cutting stone is a key priority, and there are two ways of doing that. It seems unlikely that either approach lead to a collapse in the corner.

For instance, the sequences below looks good for White. In the first one, for example, white seems to have a solid lead in territory; and black has a weak shape. In the seond one, white again is doing well in territory, and black's wall faces a strong group and is useless.

So I guess B need to do better than this. The only thing that occurs to me is below, but this looks like a struggle as well. White may have better moves at 5, as well.

Edited to add: Black's best chance of winning is probably going for a central moyo after doing something in the corner. In that case, white may be better off doing the other capture with 7 in the last diagram, to stop black getting a sente move helping the moyo.

I don't think this a pro game, given the inefficient placement of some stones. Knowing Gomoto, I think the commentator is probably a strong bot.

Uberdude: I don't think this a pro game, given the inefficient placement of some stones. Knowing Gomoto, I think the commentator is probably a strong bot.


When reviewing my own games (I review each of them) or studying go I always use a combination of pro go databases and strong AI to analyze the moves.

In this case ("Are you the first to find the tesuji") my main motivation is to improve my own tesuji knowledge. I start with a tesuji idea (e.g. from a book) and search for an application in real games (perhaps I missed the tesuji in one of my own games or I search for the tesuji in my pro database). I used a pro game as a starting point for this problem, but I tortured the kifu heavily to achieve two secondary goals: I had to change the global position to make sure the local tesuji is the biggest move, and nurturing the autistic part of my personality i also wanted an about even score for the problem position.

I enjoy studying tesuji this way because when applying tesuji to my own games I have to make sure not to just play blindly the local good move, but also be always aware of the whole board relations.

I posted this byproduct of my own tesuji studying, because I thought some of you might enjoy to look for the tesuji too and because I enjoy to discuss about go with you (by comparing variations mainly).
