Beginner Exercise 54 Solution
The original discussion has been moved to Beginner Exercise 54 Discussion.
If black plays first, he can make two eyes immediately at 1, so white has to play at 1 to stop black from living.
Black 2 can solidify an eye at the bottom. However, white 3 is double atari and will destroy the eye at the top, leaving black dead.
Black has to play at 2 or a to prevent the double atari. But white 3 kills.
Even when black plays the two marked stones to capture the two white stones, white still can make a throw-in at 1 to turn it into a false eye.
White has to be careful not to play at 3, thinking she can capture the marked stone. Black 4 traps the two white stones including 3 in a snapback, and lives.
White 1 is the correct way to falsify the eye at the bottom, but is too early. Black 2 lives.
