Beginner Exercise 69 Solution
  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Problem

[Diagram]
Diag.: Solution.

After Black 1, since White a is not possible (Black will capture at b), Black lives as a twisted four. Now c and d are miai.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Failure 1

Black dies by bulky five.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Failure 2

Playing at 1 looks good, but White 2 will capture the marked stone. However, White 2 has to be careful not to play at a or b.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Failure 3

White 2 is the vital point here.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Failure 4

Black 1 is probably the weakest move among the failure diagrams.
