Beginner Exercise 113 Attempts
    Keywords: Problem

[Diagram]
Diag.: Solution

Grauniad: First sacrifice two stones. If Black 2 at 3, then White 3 at 2. If Black 2 at 4, then White 3 at 2 and Black 4 at 3.

Diag.: Solution (cont.)

Finally, sacrifice one more stone, and then remove Black's second eye.

unkx80: Nice one! =)

But let me just say, if this is in an actual game, Black 2 and White 3 would be considered mistakes. Can you figure out why?

Confused: For Black, instead of playing at 2, it's better to look for more profitable places to play instead of dying in gote. And if Black is so nice to offer White sente, it's only polite to honor that gift by using it where it matters instead of wasting it on White 3, which doesn't kill Black any deader than it already is. Black 2 and White 3 are wasted moves, Black is just as dead without them.
