Beginner Exercise 42 / Solution
Sub-page of BeginnerExercise42

[Diagram]
White kills

splice: Black has one eye in the corner. W1 threatens to capture BC and kill the eye there. B2 captures the white stone but White extends to W3 and Black has one false eye and one real one. Dead.


[Diagram]
Black lives (6 at 1)

Playing W3 is wrong. It leaves W1 in atari, which is promptly captured by Black. Black makes a second eye and lives.



[Diagram]
What about this...?

Would this work? You take away one of Black's eyes, and also have a net to run him into?

unkx80: This will work too.

victim: But it will give B an extra ko threat. The first solution is better.
