Then I think we can omit this test case safely. There is no aji to find
at all on the surrounding.

Still I found this is not an easy problem, white can play A5 after black B6. Then black seems not to be able to kill white cleanly. For example, black B2, white A2. Or B:A2, W:A3, B:B3, W:B4. I could miss some variations. Anyway I think gnugo doesn't have to know all the variations.
