Beginner Exercise 332 / Solution

Sub-page of BeginnerExercise332

Status: White is alive as it is. Black can get an endgame gain of 6 points in gote by making a seki.

[Diagram]
Seki  

B1 and B3 make the corner a seki and nullify White's territory (6 points after White playing inside).

[Diagram]
Is it really seki?  

Later, W1 can capture two stones, but then has to give way after B4 - leading ultimately to the same score as the seki.

[Diagram]
Result after follow-up  

4 points for each side - the net is still zero. White can use W1-W3 above and a as two ko threats for small ko fights.
