Beginner Exercise 24 Solution
  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Problem

Solution by lavalyn:

[Diagram]
Diag.: One eye goes away

White 1 eliminates the eye at the edge - a and b are miai for the white group escape to safety.



[Diagram]
Diag.: Failure

White 1 here fails after Black 2 - he will take the marked point without difficulty, making the second eye.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Peep first?

While the peep of White 1 must be answered, the kill still requires White 3.



[Diagram]
Diag.: What about this?

Curious to know what would happen if 1 was played. Looks right in my head.

unkx80: White 1 is correct too as it makes miai of a and b but I don't think this will be encouraged because it might be making extra investment for the same returns.
