| + | The validity and minimality of this template has been checked by computer. The template was mentioned on 2016-05-19 by the user shalev in this [https://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/forum/topic2.jsp?forum=50&topic=669 Little Golem thread], but likely predates that post. |

| − | Even though the diagram shows two pieces and one of them on the sixth row, it makes sense to say this is a fifth row template with one stone, as the stone on the sixth row plays no role whatsoever in connecting to the bottom. It could be removed and the stone on the fifth row will still be connected to the bottom. It is only shown so there is a possibility to connect to the top too, as without that it would not be of much use in a practical sense.

| | | | |
| − | (Note: As I am writing this I have only seen the claim of this being a valid template on the little golem thread. I have not checked it yet and also not if it is minimal. However, as this came from a very competent player I have no reson to doubt it.)

If Blue intrudes at a, Red can start by forcing a 3rd or 2nd row ladder like this
If Red achieved a 3rd row ladder after intrusions a or b as shown above, Red continues as follows.
If Red achieved a 2nd row ladder after intrusions a or c above, Red continues as follows.
Four of these five possible moves can be analysed together. In the following diagram, assume Blue has played 1 in any one of the cells marked with +:
After Red 2, that group is safely connected to them bottom, now matter which of the pluses Blue chose before.
