i3 already gets at least a ladder along the 1-edge.

It turns out that F4 escapes the ladder - https\://www.hexwiki.net/index.php/Tom%27s_move#Connecting_a_2nd_row_ladder_using_an_isolated_stone_on_the_4th_row - so I think H5 is best for Black.

Otherwise (i.e., in the absence of F4), I think Black should play J3 or a ladder escape in the A1 corner.]

I guess White should've tried h7.]
