Ooooooh. Now I see it

Funny thing, before I looked at your post, I thought I had found it. I came up with this variation. Though apparently it's not it I think it doesn't work if just plays S18




Thanks everyone for helping me find it. Too bad I couldn't find it on my own entirely, but that'll come as I improve I did find many other variations so the exercise in itself was very valuable!


Question, though: was the netting much worse than catching the stones in a ladder?

I haven't seen it yet.

Black 43 at P14

You see how was not a good move?

Yes, the ladder would then not have worked, because a big group of black would be in atari running out the ladder.
Though netting still would've worked in that case

Thanks for (not) pointing it out to me

Yes, it is a negative example of the general principle to avoid strengthening the opponent's stones.



That's a liberal interpretation of working. When the ladder does not work, instead of playing atari against the cut, simply extending along the second line may be best.



Thank you for your stick-to-it-ivity.
