immediately makes an eye. If White defends the center, for example with
, then the throw-in at
will catch the three White stones in a connect-and-die and make the second eye. White can't connect at

captures three White stones in a connect-and-die.
at a or b also lives, but with less points.
Do not make unneccessary sente moves like , because it reduces Black's liberties. After
, Black cannot atari at a without putting the entire Black group into self-atari, so Black dies.
at
is a similar failure,
at
kills similarly.
Although captures three White stones for an eye, it is played in the wrong order and so
destroys the other eye and kills. a and b are miai for the connection.
