I think that White can get a seki or a ko

But is there a way for Black to keep his territory?

PS this is in preperation for a page on sensei's library on this corner shape

I don't think that there is much long term benefit to doing this ( sorry! ), for arriving at the position almost certainly requires some serious DDK mistakes.

If the position gets to this point, such that black is getting locked in and running out of external liberties, 'a' is the natural play before 'b' or 'c'.

White can get nothing here, it's just black territory.

looks a lot like seki to me.
black can also start a ko with :b6: & :w7: , but this is a very bad ko for black.

I would make problems out of this, it is such a special and unlikely shape to put to the corner shapes. And is it really a staircase, it looks suspiciously like a absent big b2 bomber to my eye ;-)

Heh, sorry, seems I posted to hastily. Seki indeed :)

I agree with tapir that it's not really suitable for corner shapes though, it is too uncommon and will just clutter the page, better as a tsumego.

A few more oversights and you'll be down to my level of accuracy. :)

thanks for all the answers. :bow:

I think it is a good shape for the Corner shapes page.

I always intended that page as a collection of different corner shapes that are just not territory. :grumpy:

and this is a rather simple ahape ( no cutting points or so)
and also it is one of the biggest shapes that is still not territory.

(or are there 11 point empty spaces without cutting points that can be turned into seki or ko?)

Another problem that is still bothering me what is the status of the [sl=]FiveStonesOnTheThirdLineInTheCorner[/sl]

Black can prevent easy life if he plays first:

$$|. . . . 2 1 . . .
$$|O O O O O X . . .

$$|. . . . . . . . .[/go]


White can choose a ko:

$$|O O O O O X . . .
$$|X X X X X X . . .
$$|. . . . . . . . .[/go]


..or a seki:

$$|O O O O O X . . .
$$|X X X X X X . . .
$$|. . . . . . . . .[/go]



The ko is expensive for white and cheap for black. Also, white must win it several times. So white almost certainly prefers the seki.

Who is the other person who posted hastily? If it was me, rest assured I didn't and still stand by what I said as I was not thinking of :b1: in your figures:

I am fairly certain that if it's Black to play and he plays first here, there is no way for White to live unconditionally. I would be delighted to see a refutation though as I couldn't find any after quite some thought. Instead of posting 8,318 different variations that seem to work, I'll just wait for variations from others that show White can live unconditionally and try to debunk those.

I was actually referring to Herman ( see post #8 above )

However, now that you mention it, you too get to join our illustrious group. :D Segoe Kensaku 8P, in "Go Proverbs Illustrated", which was first printed in 1960, says that it is alive.

Did he, per chance, post the variation along with it? I can't be satisfied until I see it for myself.

It is past midnight here. I'll dig up my copy tomorrow.

BTW, welcome back to the world of go players.

I never claimed Black kills, simply that White cannot live unconditionally. Thus, seki and (desperate) kos count. The continuation I had in mind was:
