The following position almost appeared in a game I played on OGS:
Where would you play here as black? AI analysis is also welcome! The OGS AI suggested an interesting move that wasn't on my radar at all:
An intriguing move. But does it acutally work, i.e. can one trust the OGS AI in this case? The AI continuation is the following:
How do you like this result for black? Regardless, I will try to look for such cheeky moves as the one shown here in my future games. |

It seems to me that sacrificing the corner is a good plan for Black. White is too weak on the bottom side not to have to spend a play or two to capture the three Black stones. The corner may even become ko or even seki. Also, if Black lives in the corner but White gets stronger on the bottom side, then Black's stones in the center may become floating.
On second thought, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() It would not surprise me if all three of these plays are playable. ![]() |

My first thought was to check if black can live inside with some move like this:
But it's clear that it doesn't work after white's descent. Next thought is to hold black in:
and I wondered to myself if that was sente. Or if not, if something like this is working:
But then I got tired of trying to read, and just looked at Bill's answer. I hadn't thought about B4 potentially being sente - I just assumed white could ignore it, since I didn't read a clean capture. |
