epiccuriosity: White-D15, Black-E16, W-F16, B-E15, W-E14, B-F15 and then eight options.
Are all the options of equal value? Does White gain anything by not immediately capturing?
Ivan Detkov: The best option is to leave the dead stones "as is" and play elsewhere. This is just a demonstration of futile efforts to save them.
The general idea is that if you can capture and remove the stones immediately it's better to do so, especially when there are many stones.
