Beginner Exercise 57 Solution
  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Problem

[Diagram]
Solution.

Reducing the eye space is the key here. W1 and W3 hanes, and reduce the black group into a bent three. The placement at W5 is the final touch.


[Diagram]
Variation 1

This one is similar. Capturing W1 and W3 will not give Black his second eye.


[Diagram]
Variation 2

B2 is interesting. But White plays at W3, and a and b are miai. Black is still dead.


[Diagram]
Failure 1

The hane at W1 is the wrong play. After B2, W3 and B4 are miai.


[Diagram]
Failure 2.

The direct placement at W1 allows Black to live with a seki, as in the previous problem.
