Beginner Exercise 6 Solution
   

KarlKnechtel suggests:

[Diagram]
Diag.: White first to live.

After capturing, 2 and 4 are miai for life. If Black does not play 2 or 4, a white play there secures the second eye immediately: capture three to make an eye.



lavalyn adds:

[Diagram]
Diag.: Too early!

Turning down to the first line without extending the white line doesn't work. It just creates a false eye.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Still too early! Black 6 at 2

Similarly, extending the white line by only one stone doesn't work because Black has a sacrifice move to eliminate White's eye.
