I do not really understand the status of your Go board. This configuration would only be possible after a move of black. Let's see: This could be the previous config. All pieces are alive. It's blacks turn. WW.BB .WWWW WWBBB BBBWW WW.W. | Black places a piece on the last row thus killing the first two white pieces (leading to the config you give), which are then removed. Thus after black's move, only the liveliness of the white pieces has to be checked. The statement that the black pieces in the last three rows are dead is utter nonsense.
