[admin] Changed 'w' and 'b' in diagram to 'O' and 'X'. -JB [/admin]

edit: See swawips post. it is more instructive


edit: I guess the problem is far too difficult for a novice. Even my solution will be difficult to you. There are many sites with easier problems for example gogameguru

I think I am so I think I am.

The three surrounded black stones have only three liberties, while the white border group has four. The other white group seems to have even more (however it is not yet fully connected). Thus - from the liberty count - it seems that black is lost here. However, there is a move which (effectively) increases black's liberties and at the same time forces white to reply in a way, which does not decrease black's liberties again.

hi it's working this is great!!!!


amazing !!!

this game is quite complicate , i think i need same time to digest it,it been written on the first tutorials page that one should loss 100 games and fast, in order to starts figuring out what to do and how to implement all the tutorials knowledge and far more.


all the best----
