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 play 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.

Template V1-c is a 5th row edge template with one stone.

(From the Little Golem forum)

The validity and minimality of this template has been checked by computer. There are many lines of play, making the template (and especially the minimality) difficult to check by hand.

However, to get an idea of how the template works, here is one of the main lines of play.

Move 10 is like Tom's move, except for a 3rd-and-5th row parallel ladder. Then play continues:

121611141317221820151921

At this point, Red is connected by Tom's move.
