Beginner Exercise 32 Solution
Difficulty: Beginner
Keywords: Problem
Solution by lavalyn:
The peep must be answered or Black escapes to the strong reinforcements just outside White's walls. After Black 3, a and b are miai for life. GeoPie? : As a beginner, playing for white, I will not play at 2 but at 3.
Playing either a or b will leave White playing the other point - one eye.
White 2 prevents the thrust - the rules prevent suicide. The additional turn required for Black 5 removes the last weakness in White's formation, so Black dies here. jesusin: White 6 is not needed. If Black 5, Black dies in gote.
In case the peep is answered differently, the move order changes... eventually White will play at 4.
