Beginner Exercise 57 Solution
   

[Diagram]
Diag.: Solution.

Reducing the eye space is the key here. White 1 and 3 hanes, and reduce the black group into a bent three. The placement at 5 is the final touch.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Variation 1.

This one is similar. Capturing white 1 and 3 will not give black his second eye.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Variation 2.

Black 2 is interesting. But white plays at 3, and a and b are miai. Black is still dead.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Failure 1.

The hane at 1 is the wrong play. After black 2, white 3 and black 4 are miai.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Failure 2.

The direct placement at 1 allows black to live with a seki, as in the previous problem.
