Parallel Fractional Go 7

There are four of us and 4 black liberties. Remembering that we need to add a stone to each color’s (except Green which is not in danger) chains to make it a suicide instead of a direct capture, I think there’s only one permutation of those 4 attacks that works.

However, even that isn’t guaranteed to kill Black. If we could get them to reveal some of their moves first it might help.

Maybe black needs more coordination than we do.

I see why you were thinking about how we could capture there now :sweat_smile:

Maybe we were the ones who needed more coordination after all :rofl:

@black for a clean capture of pink we need 3 stones in the bottom right. Any sugestions?

Oh shoot, I’m not sure why I didn’t attack pink last time, especially since I brought it up! Maybe I shouldn’t play when tired…

I think we need to be careful of brown, looks like it’s in danger of dying alongside pink? We could do brown J2 to bring its liberties up to 6.

I will play N2, green at N1 seems logical, so N3 pink and making the pink group active this round seems like a risk we should take

Therion, maybe it would be advisable for blue to move into the lower left? Or otherwise consider the long term plans for survival of that group.

It seems like with the board this size it’s difficult for any one color to live especially when not linked with the matching color from the other team.

In the lower right, the blue chain was captured (being the only old chain without liberties, as every other chain there had a stone added this round). This freed up liberties for other chains, so they survived.

I think it at this point would be beneficial for White if the three blue stones in the lower right get captured.

Is that to keep pink alive? Precarious!

Can we also kill blue up top?

Sure, if Pink gets captured, the white-blue stones are separated from other white stones, so I’d prefer them getting captured over Pink getting captured.
