Chapter 3 Solution 5
Solution 5A W1 on Black’s key shape point is intrinsically OK, provided that it’s followed up correctly!
Solution 5B After W1, B2 will make a Bamboo joint to strengthen his weak stones while threatening to connect at 3.
But if W3 is then played to prevent that connection, the simple B4 traps the 2 Whites to connect Black after all, making his stones strong!
Solution 5C After B2, instead of futilely cutting with W“a” to produce the bad result of Solution 5B, depending on the nearby
and global position White will be much better advised to run away at either “b” or “c” if he intends to fight,
or to simply tenuki and leave W1 behind temporarily as having fulfilled its purpose, until such time as it becomes clear that utilizing it further will help him more than Black.
