Kyu Exercise 6 / Solution

Solution

If Black plays first, he can make two eyes immediately at W1, so White has to play at W1 to stop Black from living.

[Diagram]

Side diagram

B2 can complete an eye at the bottom. However, W3 is double atari and will destroy the eye at the top, leaving Black dead.

[Diagram]

Main line

Black has to play at B2 or a to prevent the double atari. But W3 kills.

[Diagram]

False eye

Even when Black plays black+circle stones to capture the two white stones, White still can make a throw-in at W1 to turn it into a false eye.

[Diagram]

Trapped

White has to be careful not to play at W3, thinking she can capture black+circle. B4 traps the two white stones including W3 in a snapback, and lives.

[Diagram]

Bad timing

W1 is the correct way to falsify the eye at the bottom, but is too early. B2 lives.
