Beginner Exercise 7 Solution
Difficulty: Beginner
Keywords: Problem
Black 1 makes the living eyeshape of bent four. a and b are now miai to keep this eyeshape and prevent it from being reduced to straight three. Black lives with 4 points.
Black 1 works too but White 2 forces Black to answer at 3. This way Black lives too but with only two points.
The most tempting failure is probably this atari Black 1. White ignores it and takes the vital point of 2.
Black's capture is answered by the nobi of 4 and if Black finally protects his eyespace, it is already reduced to straight three and White plays the killing move 6.
