I don't know if I am going to get stronger with this book, but it answers some questions that have always intrigued me, like, for example, what happens in a corridor.

We thought when Black plays 1 that we need to divide the next shape by 2. 1 1/4 divided by 2 but it seems wrong.

Black 1 creates a closed empty corridor with three intersections. You find the most explicit step-by-step calculation of its count and move value in Endgame 2 - Values on p. 139f in Examples 1 and 2. (At other places, calculations are less explicit or refer to the formulas for empty corridors.) With 1 1/4, it seems you refer to the count. After reading there, can you now identify your mistake of dividing by 2 apparently once too often?
