Can white place on the triangle and capture one black stone even though the other two blacks have liberties? I assume it can because the capture leaves a liberty for the white stone making the capture. Ko prevents black from capturing right away, and white can then fill it. |

You are correct in your reasoning. Yes white may place on the triangle and capture one black stone. And yes the Ko prevents black from capturing right away. |

The only circumstance under which white could not capture the black stone is if... ...in which case White can't immediately recapture because of ko. |
