QUESTION 'Surrounded on one side'
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2022 1:37 am
In this situation, playing in the middle 13x13. Black has surrounded the white on the right side of the board.
IF its whites turn to go he can capture the bottom right black. (red spot)
IF its blacks turn they can go in the same (red) spot and stop that happening.
IF black stops that happening and plays in the (red) spot play. Does black then surround the whites and there is no point in anyone going in the 7 'eyes' that are remaining on the right side.
And then how many points does black get at the end for surrounding the whites?
OR is there a way for white to break out?
Would there be any point for any colours black or white to put counters in the remaining 7 'eyes'
I hope you understand, me and my girlfriend are new and she said that she captures all my whites as she was black and has me surrounded. I said no because I have 7 'eyes'.
However, I broke out by putting a white in the 'red' spot and the game went on from there, and she said she doesn't understand because she had me surrounded.
Thank you if you reply to this.
