Re: Yose - to connect or not to connect?
Thanks to everyone for your contributions. The book indeed never proves that a move is or is not sente. To summarize, I was assuming that the cut was sente, the book was assuming it was gote, and the calculation shows that it is neither, but whatever the assumption, the cost of not protecting the cut is evaluated at 16 points gote (with the evaluation method given in my first post).
