Capture three to make an eye

Capturing three stones suffices to make an eye.

An example at the edge of the board.

[Diagram]

...even when Black throws in with B2, White can make a second eye with W3.

HugoDePayens? : Isn't the second eye a false one?

mgoetze: a is the first eye and b the second. They are both quite real I assure you. :)



This works away from the edge, too.
