No matter what Red does, Blue can connect via either g5 or g8. Both blue stones at the right are connected to the right (see the [[Strategy#General strategy guide|Strategy guide]] for details). The stone at d8 is connected to the left because of the ladder breaker at c2.

Blue 1 is connected to the right via [[Template IIIa]] and threatens to connect directly to the left. The only possibility to prevent this connection is to play out the ladder:

Since the cells for the ladder and those for the edge template do not overlap, Red cannot do anything against the connection.
