| White to play 1-1. |
White comes in with one man on black’s 1 point, and he drops another man from his 8 point to his bar point, but instead of covering it, he moves two men up from black’s 1 point to black’s 2 point. This move not only threatens black’s blots, but gives white a stronger defensive position. To cover the blot on his bar point would be purposeless. White’s tactics are to lure black from his 5 point in order to recapture it himself.
