New yose tesuji?
I saw this yose tesuji twice in the last few months, and I was surprised it didn’t ring any bell for me - there are not so many yose tesuji out there. Must be my memory making fun of me…
Here is the yose problem: black to play in the following diagram:

Check the new article I added on the website for the answer and some more detailed diagrams about this position. (Of course, try to find the answer by yourself before for the maximum learning experience).
I don’t even want to think about how many times I might have missed this relatively easy trick…
Oh, and if I’ll be writing yet another article on the same topic, please let me know

I am pretty sure I have seen this tesuji in the book ‘Monkey Jump Workshop’. I’ll have to check to make sure.
I read it a while ago , and instead of clearing up things, it mostly made me more confused ^^. I think I remember reading about this tesuji though.

Hi Nanny,
I am sure it is a classical endgame book tesuji - when I wrote “New yose tesuji” it was tongue in cheek, I was just surprised it looked new to me
After all, the diagram above is reproduced from a Chinese Go problems book I found at my local public library.

Sure, I just tried to remember where I had encountered it for the first time. I don’t always think about it in games though, I’ll have to work on that. So much to study, so little time ^^
Thanks for your kisei coverage, will spend some time later today looking at the second half of the game.
