    50 									<strong>Solution 8A</strong></b> If White begins by playing on Black’s key inside shape point with W1, 
 | 
| 
 | 
    51 									this shows one plausible continuation.<br><br> 
 | 
| 
 | 
    52 									But after B8, although White has gouged out most of the territory from Black’s underbelly, Black is quite safely 
 | 
| 
 | 
    53 									led out into the center, and what might have been White’s thickness in the center, with which he hoped to compensate 
 | 
| 
 | 
    54 									for the two big Black corners above and below, has been effectively negated.<br><br> 
 | 
| 
 | 
    55 									So playing this way would be very inferior for White.
 | 
| 
 | 
    56 									 
 | 
| 
 | 
    57  																	<br><br><br>
 | 
| 
 | 
    58 									<strong>Solution 8B</strong></b> From the principles enumerated earlier we know that as things stand this still unenclosed 
 | 
| 
 | 
    59 									group can’t simply be killed, so if White desires to attack it his only sensible option is to begin by  trying to confine it 
 | 
| 
 | 
    60 									from the outside. So White correctly began his attack from the outside with the capping move of W1.<br><br>
 | 
| 
 | 
    61 									B2 is the best way for Black to try to expand his space, and after the expected hane of W3 and draw back of B4, W5 is necessary 
 | 
| 
 | 
    62 									to prevent Black’s strong ”outside hane” at  this same point.<br><br>
 | 
| 
 | 
    63 									When B6 cuts, W7 is necessary to prevent Black’s atari on W1 at this same point. And then Black has a big decision to make!<br><br>
 | 
| 
 | 
    64 									If Black now plays at 9 to make shape, W8 will assure the capture of B6 and connect White, while providing him with the powerful 
 | 
| 
 | 
    65 									thickness he sought.<br><br>
 | 
| 
 | 
    66 	`								That was unappealing to Black, so with B8 he chose to keep White separated. But in return, now that Black is enclosed, it does make 
 | 
| 
 | 
    67 									sense for W9 to occupy Black’s key shape point!<br><br> 
 | 
| 
 | 
    68 									Whether or not Black can live after this will be a function of the respective fighting skills of the opponents. Given that Black allowed 
 | 
| 
 | 
    69 									W9 it’s reasonable to assume that a player as strong as the 5D who contested this game correctly pre-calculated his chances in that regard, 
 | 
| 
 | 
    70 									and in the end he did in fact live here. (Although the result of that local fight was obviously critically important to the game’s outcome, 
 | 
| 
 | 
    71 									from our present perspective it’s a “detail” which lies outside our concern with the proper way to play in such situations, so we won’t go into it further.)<br><br>
