Macelee's study journal of interesting pro games: 2014-10-20

Post by macelee »

From yesterday's Chinese League: http://www.go4go.net/go/games/sgfview/43588

Black resigned after seeing the marked move. What will happen if black keeps playing? A very good practice for some deep reading.

A hint:
The marked stone helps a ladder.

(Maybe 6 should be before 2 so that you lose less if black compromises)

oh, I'd better hide it, so as not to give away the ending for someone else.
I'm just a kyu player. I can't change lightbulbs, because I can't see the ladders.
