5 is worth a point, no? If white plays there, black doesn't get the point in the corner.

Oh right, even more than one point, as black doesn't need to capture there. So, 4 points if i count well.

I missed that, thanks!

Ah, hahaha. It is worth more than one point, isn't it?

Thanks for pointing that out.

Nope, don't think so. May be a bit better for white, though.

If white has ko threats, I suppose he could consider playing that way to prevent black from getting the points that are referenced in the previous couple of posts.

What I really love is how the group of 4 black stones at the bottom have no liberties and are still alive on the board.

I thought the same thing, but then I realized it is a corner diagram, though it is rather hard to spot :)

Tip for lorill: When you post something as a problem, remove superfluous stones, like those in the center in this diagram :)
