A Correct
Defense
Saddling south with an additional and totally useless bead in pit A does three things:
- It doesn't add to the tempi of south.
- It defends the single capture possible in pit e.
- It gives an additional tempo to the gem in pit a.
This proves precisely enough to force south to either overfeed his house (rendering it useless)
or sow it ineffectively because pit e is defended.
