| White to play 5-2. |
White moves from black’s 5 point to black’s 12 point, not hitting black’s blot with the man from black’s 4 point. This is the correct play. White does not want to delay black further and so declines to hit. At this juncture, he has a distinct edge in every area. He even holds his enemy’s 5 point.
