Beginner Exercise 22 Solution
The asymmetry in the setup indicates which side to start on. The only place where white could conceivably get any more EyeSpace is along the side, so attack there first.
If white tries to solidify the eye at 'a', black's hane leaves insufficient EyeSpace.
If white tries to make more EyeSpace, black falsifies the eye. The circled points are good for at most one eye regardless; it might seem that white can DivideTheSpace by playing in the corner, but all the eyes are false then.
unkx80: An alternative way of killing is at 1. If white plays at 2, black will play at 3, so a and b are miai.
