White is dead because you can ladder her backwards into your stones after G3 and then extending the atarid stone, this sets up the ladder.

there are two ways to study Life and death or tesuji problems. In case of tesuji, I used to memorize the possible variations in a problem instead of trying to come up with the solution myself. Still some take the way i did or some other try to solve and put more time on a particular problem , either way if you end up being like a dictionary then you succeed.

I was reading a review of jubango #2 and a I know it's the highest level of play so most of the moves will be beyond me, but move 191 seems like a pointless throw it. can someone explain the purpose of this move? http://gogameguru.com/go-commentary-gu-li-vs-lee-sedol-jubango-game-2/

Xom: vs. batch C opponents: 7k
Xom: batch C includes my Great Wall attempts
Xom: I think I even lost most of those games
Kheldragar: Xom is actually 1d
Kheldragar: No wonder I lose more horribly to you

Two more veteran players have retired as of March 31. They are Ishida Akira 9P and Fukui Susumu 9P. Ishida was born in Tokyo on May 23, 1949 and became a disciple of Fukuda Masayoshi 8P. He became 1-dan in 1966 and 9-dan in 1982. He won the top section of the rating tournament (Oteai) in 1972 and the 3rd and 4th King of the New Stars titles (1978 and 1979). He played in six Meijin leagues and one Honinbo league. At his peak, when he played in the Meijin league for six years in a row, Ishida impressed as one of the top players on the go scene, but he never put it together to win a big title.

It seems insufficient for White; Black gets to choose which side, and White's corner is small. I mean, compared to White extending his stone.

Nice series of cuts, but I'm not sure what this has to do with direction of play, which is a strategic concept, not a tactical one.
