Article 3. Life and Death

1)Bent Four in the Corner

In Figure 6, the Black group is dead independent of the number of Paegam, because of the strength of Whites claim.

2)Bent Four in a Capturing Race

If Black's large chain is not alive and the situation persists until the end of the game (as in Figures 7 and 8), Whites groups are deemed to be dead because of Blacks strong claim.

3)Pae (ko) with large and small eyes in a capturing race

In Figure 9, Whites groups are dead because Black has a chance to capture while White has no hope.
