Beginner Exercise 87 Solution
Difficulty: Beginner
Keywords: Problem
lavalyn: Optimal for both players.
Black catches two White stones in oiotoshi. Isn't White 2 atari? Couldn't White just capture by playing 4 at a? -phooky lavalyn: Yes, White 2 is atari. Thus Black 3 removes one of the white pieces surrounding the threatened group.
With White's stones isolated and the cut impossible, White's connection still yields only a bent four not in the corner. Welcome nando to the deshi of SL that create Beginner Exercises! unkx80: Clap Clap. =)
SAS: No, this doesn't work. White can play 2 at 3 and get a ko.
