Kyu Exercise 64 / Solution

[Diagram]

Solution.

The solution starts with W1. This is a unconditional kill.

[Diagram]

Main line.

This is the main line. After W5, Black cannot make his eye at a due to shortage of liberties.

[Diagram]

Variation 1.

If B2, then W3 connects. This is a case of double shortage of liberties.

[Diagram]

Variation 2.

Black has only one eye.

[Diagram]

Failure 1.

If W3 here, then B4 turns the status into a ko.

[Diagram]

Failure 2.

Although the hane at W1 is a strong move, but it still ends up in a ko. After B4, if White a connects, then Black b continues with the ko.

[Diagram]

Failure 3.

W1 is a common tesuji, but the result is still a ko.
