6.1 Normal Case (8) |
---|
Under area rules III if Black plays 277 at 'a,' then White can pass. Black 277 is the last competitive move and White wins by two points. (See Dia. 6-2-2.) |
Dia. 6-2-2 (277) |
---|
Under territory rules I Black can pass at 277, but if White then passes to establish the preliminary end of the game he loses a point, because the number of neutral points is odd. White will therefore play 'a.' If Black passes again, now White can pass in reply for the preliminary end of the game. |
