Big scale Life and Death

*Life and Death*

———————————————-

Last Sunday (5th of July, 2009), this pattern had appeared in Hazim’s game against Peng Hui. Regardless the whole board situation there was one huge Life and Death situation just in the middle of the board. It is White’s turn to play now, how to save the whole group in the middle?

In Fact, Peng Hui as a white missed out the living sequences. Thus, Xinwen had believed this could be a strong kyu life and death (3-kyu or stronger) probably.
