[Plate 35] (D)
The following stones are on the board: White, B 8, C 7, C 8, D 6, E 2, E 6, F 3, F 5; Black, B 6, B 7, C 6, D 2, 3, 4, 5.
If White has the move, it makes a difference of four “Me.”
| White | Black | ||
| 1. | B 4. This stone is sacrificed, but there is no loss because it is so threatening thatBlack must play twice in order to make his position secure, meanwhile White advanceson line A. | 2. | B 3. Black’s best move because it defends the connection at C 5, and also preventsWhite from trying to connect at D 1. |
| 3. | A 7. White gains one “Me” by this move. | 4. | A 6.[[192]] |
| 5. | A 8. | 6. | C 4. Necessary because the connection at C 5 is now in immediate danger, but Blackthereby fills up another of his “Me,” and White retains the “Sente.” |
