Life In 19x19

The books gives Black 1 as killing white. However, it appears that after 2, white can live. Am I wrong or is there an error in this book?

Does it specify, kills without ko? Because I think your resistance is just a ko. (C1 F1 D2).

I just see the ko at C1. The solution has to be better ?

P.S. oops doublepost.

And yr reply to D1 is?

The solution to that problem is wrong in the book. Compared to other life and death books these ones are generally very good, but this is one problem where I clearly remember deciding that the best result is a ko.

Mine? Find a ko threat...

OK, I'm convinced. Looks like ko is the best answer with best play.

<sarcasm>It's such a pity that I don't sell Go books, otherwise I could surely parlay this into a five page treatise explaining how I'm somehow superior to one of the greatest players ever, which would surely increase sales! Hang on a minute...</sarcasm>

(In case someone doesn't get this later on, I'm referring to another recent thread where Lee Changho was disrespected.)

LOL. You actually think he wrote the book. He's most likely selling the rights to use his name in the series. Looks like he didn't take time to read through the books well before publishing.

Let's not forget that these books were ghost written...

So Lee Changho get's out this time!

Of course I know that . I don't think he wrote the other book either, which was partly the point of the joke.

Someone should make an errata on SL
