| Post subject: | Strange Situation |
I was playing someone I play with quite a bit and we had a interesting thing come up in the Corner of the board. I had some black stones forming a border and right inside mine to the wall he had white ones. I had 3 Black stones within his thing of white stones. This made each of our liberties at two, his group and my group of three stones. What Happens? I can't try to kill is group because then I would lose but he can't try to kill me or else he will lose. |

Both groups are alive if the situation doesn't change. Assuming that you are using standard Japanese rules, nobody gets any points in that corner. |

You seem to have discovered seki. Both groups are alive, and neither player gets any points there. |
