Rh

The following stones are on the board: White, B 16, C 14, E 15; Black, C 17, D 16, E 16, G 17.

If White has the move, it makes a difference of seven "Me."

1. B 17. White dare not go to B 18 because he would be cut off eventually at B 15.

2. B 18.

3. A 18.

4. C 18.

White retains the "Sente."

The following stones are on the board: White, B 8, C 7, C 8, D 6, E 2, E 6, F 3, F 5; Black, B 6, B 7, C 6, D 2, 3, 4, 5.

If White has the move, it makes a difference of four "Me."

1. B 4. This stone is sacrificed, but there is no loss because it is so threatening that Black must play twice in order to make his position secure, meanwhile White advances on line A.

2. B 3. Black's best move because it defends the connection at C 5, and also prevents White from trying to connect at D 1.

3. A 7. White gains one "Me" by this move.

4. A 6.
