Beginner Exercise 62 Solution
   

Highly speculative solution by lavalyn:

[Diagram]
Diag.: Good shape?

White 1 nullifies the threat of the false eye by creating a tiger shape defending the eye's vital point.

KarlKnechtel: I'm convinced this is it. I saw White 1 as playing at what looked like a key point of the space surrounded by Black, and also making good shape - but the shape I saw was the nameless one made by White 1 and the marked stones. :)

unkx80: Sometimes good feeling is important in life and death situations. Often good feeling can help one in making the correct choices, such as White 1 in this diagram. But this feeling needs to be cultivated. =)


[Diagram]
Diag.: Black puts up more resistance - Black 8 at 4

Of course, if there were a stone (black or white) at a, this defence wouldn't work because of damezumari.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Another variation - Black 8 at 4

unkx80: Black 6 is another possible play by Black. But when Black 8 makes a throw-in, White can connect at 9 as there is an extra liberty at a.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Basic failure

Just trying to create eye space doesn't work - Black makes an eye false.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Failure 2.

unkx80: Sometimes White 1 is a common way of making an eye, but it fails here.


[Diagram]
Diag.: White 7 a BIG BIG mistake

lavalyn While doing some revision and a bad edit:

Don't get too clever thinking White has caught Black in snapback - White needs one more liberty for that!!!
