A common(?) semeai
I have just studied the following position and I discovered ( ) my intuition was not that good. I imagine that some of you might also be wrong and that is the reason why I show you this semeai for analysis.

Re: A common(?) semeai
I think it is like this. I recall having something similar in a game recently but I played too quickly then. Hope I'm not posting too quickly

Re: A common(?) semeai
S19 is a common tesuji to reduce liberties quickly in this kind of corner shape.
That's the intuition part - which is probably wrong:) I look forward to seeing the definitive analysis in due course.

Re: A common(?) semeai
The known moves for black to handle this corner are the following ones (a to e) But which one is the best and why? OC you have to find the best black and white moves.dust wrote:S19 is a common tesuji to reduce liberties quickly in this kind of corner shape.

Re: A common(?) semeai
Quite good lightvector. It is a big progress because you prove black can kill white unconditionnally. Unfortunately your moves are not all the best one to reach the best score. Some more work is still needed.lightvector wrote:Pure shape intuition. Don't know and haven't tried to read it out.

Re: A common(?) semeai
After two months it's time to give you the answer to this problem.
First of all the wrong answer: After
black territory will be only 12 points.
With this above the final black territory will be 13 points!
The only issue with this is to verify that black can kill the corner unconditionnaly.
Here is the proof: and white is dead
Not that easy is it?
