Dia. 27 (the problem of the ladder). Whether or not Black can
simply pull back at 1 depends on the ladder. If White can get a
ladder with `a', he gets a good result here, but if the ladder is unfavorable
it is quite difficult for him to get sabaki.
When the ladder is unfavorable for Black —
Dia. 28 (light). Black can answer 3 by pulling back at 4. White
plays lightly at 5 and fixes up his shape. Black's play here is a little
lacking in severity.
Dia. 29 (stiff-necked). Black 4, permitting White 5, is bad style:
it makes 1 into a hane at the head of two stones. Black is emphasizing
territory and hopes to solidify the right side, but playing
this way is bad.
Dia. 30 (reservations about Black's strategy). Black continues
by cutting at 1 - he is concentrating solely on developing his right
side territory. However, White builds nice thickness up to 8,
thanks to his forcing moves at 2 etc. Depending on the position at
the top and on the left side, Black may find it hard to win playing
like this.
