Let's start with w e9 - b is in atari, but w has liberties at c7, g9, and e5 - 
if b plays any of these, a b group is captured. 

b d11 captures the w rabbity six; w throws in at c12. b cannot make two eyes. 
Nor can b play the other 3 liberties. whether b plays inside the upper right 
corner or passes, w kills the upper right corner. 


If b fights, w throws in 5+4+3+2+1 stones; b plays 4 stones. Perhaps w might 
invest more than is gained, but I just played it out, and w plays 16 stones to 
win 19 for the upper right corner; the same is true for the other two corners, 
so each is a net gain for w.
