Beginner Exercise 26 Solution
Difficulty: Beginner
Keywords: Problem
White 1 makes miai of the snapback at a and destroying the eye at b.
Black 2 offers the strongest resistance. However, White 3 is atari, reducing Black's eye space in sente, and White 5 kills.
See proverb Beginners play Atari. However, not all ataris are good. This is an example of a bad atari which should not be played. Black 2 connects, and now a and b are miai, so Black lives.
Within the space of the bent four, if Black were to play first, Black can live at 1 or a. Therefore the first move by White must be within the space of the bent four.
