I promise you, in a series of unfortunate events I would certainly be killed in that situation. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Question

After Q18, why Q17 and not R16? Same result, and I don’t see a problem with liberties.

The first response to consider to “why X, not Y?” is “X”. And it’s the answer here.

R18 without any reading. Why? Because this kind of cut in this shape is a verywell known tesuji to capture the 2 stones. I hope you memorize that shape as an offensive weapon or reverse be aware of it when being on the bad side.
