Pianoman: After t17t16r17, why does white play s17 and give up some stones instead of r16? I know it doesn’t affect the correct answer for the problem, but I’ve spent some time and can’t see why white has to give up the stones. Can anyone help me understand? (I’ve linked the position that I think white should do instead) + R16
