shameless iphone killed my group

Post by entropi »

Hi,
The white group seems to form a basic corner shape but I couldn't find it on senseis. What is its status?

Is the title just a way to get attention (and if so, that's cute), or did you misclick because of the phone?

Haha, no I didn't misclick :) I was playing fast on 9x9 board and igowin on iphone shamelessly killed my group. Looking at the shape later I couldn't figure out the true status of my group.

Some thoughts. Not a solution.

This problem looks hideously similar to a problem I have seen before. So my first instinct is as follows.

$$| . 3 4 , X X .
$$| . . O . . . .
$$| . O . . X . .
$$| . 2 1 . . . .
$$---------------[/go]


Then I saw the following.

I am too brain dead now to think of much more.

Solve these in my head? No way.

This was my initial thought:
a and b are miai, c and d are miai.

$$| . a 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |

But it leads to seki:

$$| 5 O 8 9 X . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
$$| . 4 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
$$-----------------------------------------[/go]


Then I noticed atari above "c" in the first diagram kills it, so white 2 must be wrong. In any case, black 1's connection should be severed. This was my thought, but white move 2 at W10 proved to be formidable.

Edit: Corrected SGF. First move at b4.
