Kanazawa Solution 40
Black 1 is the VitalPoint. It clearly makes one eye at the circled point, and White won't prevent another eye left of 1.
Note what a difference an extra white stone at A would make.
Again, an extra stone at A would make the difference.
Once the VitalPoint has been played - 1 in the main line - the rest is not so difficult anymore. Finding that point is the main challenge here. Let's have a look at how things can go wrong.
One is tempted to cover the two space gap with a move like Black 1 here. However, White strikes at the VitalPoint. If 5 at 8, then 6 at 5.
This results in ko.
