November 1996's Go Answer of the Month

Dia 1 - White to play and kill.

This is the final installment of the long running Diamond saga. White 1 turns out to be the correct attack. Black 2 is a strong response. What does White do for move 3. Also how does White cope with other Black 2s?

Dia 2 & 3 - First how other Black 2s are countered.

7 falsifies the eye on the right.

7 links out to the White wall.

Dia 4, 5 & 6 - And now some White 3s which don't work.

Because of the careful reply of Black 4 this becomes a seki.

This is just the wrong way for White to approach matters!
7 at 8 leads to the same seki as in Dia 4.

12 at 7

No good either.

Dia 7 - And the White 3 which does work.

Feel free to email me if you have any comments.
