Kyu Exercise 64 / Attempts

Sub-page of KyuExercise64

erislover: It seems that white can get a few different kos, all direct, but black gets the first capture. Still, it seems like a great ko for w who is risking (apparently) nothing. I don't see how to kill unconditionally or to have white get the first capture.

If black captures at a instead of B5, then white at b kills unconditionally.

idigo: W4 at b kills unconditionally. Black suffers from shortage of liberties, and won't be able to take W4 for himself.

erislover: Ah, nice, I missed the ol' SOL tesuji.

unkx80: This is a very careless diagram. W4 at a captures cleanly.

erislover: Wow. Sorry I was so "careless" as to not see the solution.
