 Move 10 is like [[Tom's move]], except for a 3rd-and-5th row parallel ladder. Then play continues:

-(Note: As I am writing this I have only seen the claim of this being a valid template on the Little Golem thread. I have not checked it yet and also not if it is minimal. However, as this came from a very competent player I have no reason to doubt it.)
+The validity and minimality of this template has been checked by computer. There are many lines of play, making the template (and especially the minimality) difficult to check by hand.

-Even though the diagram shows two pieces and one of them on the sixth row, it makes sense to say this is a fifth row template with one stone, as the stone on the sixth row play no role whatsoever in connecting to the bottom. It could be removed and the stone on the fifth row will still be connected to the bottom. It is only shown so there is a possibility to connect to the top too, as without that it would not be of much use in a practical sense.
