Cute little tesuji

Post by golem7 »

Hi everyone!
This is my first time posting a diagram. I thought I should share the pleasure I felt discovering this cute move in a high handicap game at the go club yesterday. It's not too difficult, but still nice.

We're in endgame: white to reduce black's left side territory.

Nice move. I wouldn't have spotted that in a real game.

I haven't checked it yet, but this one is screaming at me:

I saw it in a split second. It's a very neat move.

I wish all in-game situations could be solved this way. If only I could substitute this kind of instinct for my reading! :lol:
