Winning Strategy for Taiwanese Professionals
Robert Jasiek
I shall present a winning strategy for Taiwanese professionals.
They use Ing (1991?) rules. Hence the prohibition rule on
http://www.snafu.de/~jasiek/newko.html applies. Thereby we have
the key for a strategy: The professional shall construct two
big basic kos Kw and Lw. The opponent forms the symmetrical
counter-parts Kb and Lb. Then, following the notation on
http://www.snafu.de/~jasiek/convent.html, after
W[Kw Kb Lw Lb Kb Kw Lb Lw Kw]
black is prohibited to play a ko stone in any of the kos.
The graphical notation of the move sequence showing the
colours of the basic ko stones:
[W:Kw] B:Kb W:Lw B:Lb W:Kb B:Kw W:Lb B:Lw W:Kw
Kw | X O O O O O X X X O
Kb | O O X X X O O O O O
Lw | X X X O O O O O X X
Lb | O O O O X X X O O O
***
With superko rules B:Lw is prohibited. WLOG, let the values
of the kos be V(Kw) = V(Kb) <= V(Lw) = V(Lb). So if B:Kb
instead, then W wins Lb, e.g., B:Lw and we have a regular
ko fight for Lw. W tenukis, B symmetrically tenukis, W:Lw,
etc. Very likely W is going to win such a symmetry break.
If V(Kb) = V(Lw), then everything is a little more tricky.
W should aim for V(Kb) < V(Lw).

If you don't recognise that your mane-go strategy is a failure,
this doesn't seem credible. Not very likely, either.

Some are crying "failure, failure" but fail to give convincing
strategies. Now that I have offered a precise description of why my
strategy for black is a failure (or at least not refined enough),
you also do not accept the counter-strategy for white? So now
the failure is worth crying "failure, failure"? One thing or the
other must be wrong, but you have to decide! So, please, what is
wrong with the strategies for Ing ko or superko? I consider them
good advice for professionals. And it is easy enough to construct
big kos in mane-go. Surely you will present us a neat, credible,
and likely strategy for white that does not rely on 4 kos and does
not contain dull moves.
Does someone want to play a tengen ponnuki mane-go game under Ing ko
or superko rules against me? I do not mind to try any colour.
