White kills

splice: Here is how Black dies. If the circled black stone was at W3, Black could live. Disclaimer: Not my own work, snagged the sequence from Two Space Notchers Not Fully Connected.


[Diagram]

Does White kill?

chtito: Does this work?

[Diagram]

Escape in progress

AdamMarquis: Not to the best of my reading. If white plays another W3, black will play there and have two eyes. But now white is in a position where if she takes away the second eye, black can leak into the left side. If white ataris B4, then black will simply make a second eye.

[Diagram]

He ran, he ran so far away

AdamMarquis: Now white cannot give up the stone in atari, because it is keeping the second eye false. But if the stone is saved, then black can run off diagram.


[Diagram]

Black lives

After B2, a and b are miai for life.


How can white kill if black responds like so?:

[Diagram]

Black Still Dies

Dahvied?:Because no one else did, I wondered how white could kill if black responded at 2 here. Not much different from the first example


[Diagram]

Another variation

stvltvs?: If Black responds at B4 instead of 'a', W5 still kills Black.
