Black = @ White = O Answer = 1, 2, 3, ... --------------------------------------- How many of you picked K-2 as the first move? Well black needs to make the move at J-1 first otherwise white can force a ko. White must answer at 2 or he dies right away. Then black plays at the key position of K-3 and white is finished. Note that white must take the black stone with 4 or black kill the lower white group with his next move. Bill Kanawyer {ucbvax,amd70,ihnp4,cbosgd,decwrl,fortune,zehntel}!dual!bill
