Kanazawa Solution 41
   

[Diagram]
Diag.: White lives

Protecting the side which is weakened by the marked stone.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Continuation 1

[Diagram]
Diag.: Failure at 3

White can't play 7 at the marked point due to damezumari.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Continuation 2


[Diagram]
Diag.: Failure 1

The marked stones turn the hane at 4 into an atari to which white must react, so that Black can take away the second eye with 6.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Failure 2

This White 1 is punished the same way as her mistake in the follow-up to the correct answer (see above).


[Diagram]
Diag.: Failure 3

Enlarging the eyespace at 1 invites Black to play at the VitalPoint 2. 3 and 4 are miai. After 4, White has to prevent the capture and take a liberty at A upon which Black takes away the other eye at B.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Failure 4

Connecting at 1 in this way makes poor EyeShape. Black plays on the VitalPoint of this shape. Even if White continues with 5 at A, Black will be able to AlmostFill her EyeSpace with a FarmersHat.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Failure 5

Connecting at 1 here is symmetric to Failure 4 and is once again countered by playing on the VitalPoint.



Addition:

[Diagram]
Diag.: White is dead

In this symmetric situation, both legs of the White group have no liberties outside of the EyeSpace. Now both a move at A or B will be answered by a move at the point diagonally underneath. White is dead.
