Capturing Race Exercise 1 Solution
    Keywords: Problem

[Diagram]
Diag.: Solution

White 1 reduces the size of Black's big eye. The big eyes are of the same size. White has 13 inside liberties + outside liberties. Black has 8 inside liberties + outside liberties. White is alive.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Variation 1

This resistance obviously fails. Black ends up with a small eye. All inside liberties count for White.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Failure

White 1 here would be a huge mistake. Black has the bigger eye and counts the inside liberties. The count is now 15 against 13. White is dead.
