[Diagram]
Diag.: Enlarge eye-space

Enlarging the eye space with 1 is the key move, and probably not too hard to come up with. After Black blocks with 2, White sagari with 3 is tesuji. Whatever Black tries hereafter, he can't reduce White to one eye anymore.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Wrong follow-up (i)

If White forgets about the sagari tesuji, and connects with 3, Black 4 destroys the eye space and the hane at 6 reduces to one eye. The order of 4 and 6 can be inverted.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Wrong follow-up (ii)

White's follow-up at 3 here is also a mistake. Black 4 makes miai of A and B to kill White. White 5 at C is answered by Black D, creating damezumari. (Note: Black 4 should not be at B: White blocks at C and has a ko to live.)



[Diagram]
Diag.: Wrong(i)

If White plays the 1-2 point first, answered by Black taking the other, and then plays the 3-4-5 exchange as in the correct answer, Black 6 creates damezumari.

White 7 at A means dying in gote.
White 7 at B provokes atari at C, White connects at A and dies.
Only White 7 at D deserves more attention.


[Diagram]
Diag.: A throw-in tesuji

The throw in at 2 kills. If Black 2 at 3, then White 3 at 2 makes life in seki. Black 2 at 4 also works.



[Diagram]
Diag.: Wrong (ii)

If White plays this 1-2 point, Black has an easy time killing White.
