Rac00n: I'm sorry but my brain is not smart enough to figure this out so if someone has the time please help. I get the blacks L6 followed by whites M6 then blacks M5, but why doesn't white just throw in at L5 at that point? Doesn't that kill black?
caranthir: After that N5, and now locally Black has only one eye, but is more than well enough connected to outside and has so much space there for extra eyes that Black is alive for the time being.
PillAchill: I understand that M5 followed by L6 leads to death as the two stones connect to their outside friends.
Why doesn't first L6 and then the connection M5 seem to save the two stones?
Because of the possibility to cut an M3?
caranthir: No, we will just keep on pushing at M6. The assignment is to live. M3 cut is not relevant.
