under the stones

[sobriquet]

How many people have seen or played games where they encounter the
"under the stones" pattern?

I don't think I ever encountered it in one of my games, but
a while back I saw a KGS game on youtube where it occurred.

I've posed the same question in the life in 19x19 forum because
that forum appears to be frequented by more go players compared to
rec.games.go on usenet.

If you only mean the special shapes (rather than ordinary capture,
recapture or play-under), it is rare indeed. However, it does occur.
Roughly once every 1000th to 10000th game? So definitely it is more
popular among problem creators.
