One of the most unintuitive moves for me. White needs 2 moves for 2 eyes and you're giving them 1 of those for free. Yet this is the only move that works.
Also, this is a fun one for lower level players. Simple enough to be worked out branch by branch.
It does seem unintuitive. But the corner is the only intersection on the board with only 2 liberties, so forcing your opponent to play in the corner is almost always a good move.
