Beginner Exercise 15 Solution
   

[Diagram]
Diag.: Seki?

Splice: I can only seem to make white live in seki with 1. Possible continuations:


[Diagram]
Diag.: Var 1 - Seki

If black doesn't take 2, white will be able to make two eyes. White 3 makes seki. If black plays inside, white gets a bent four and lives. If white plays inside, he gets three in a row and dies. The circled point is the only possible weakness, but black cannot get it before white connects it.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Var 2 - White lives

White has two eyes whatever happens.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Doesn't work?

White 1 does not work, because black 2 reduces white to one eye.
