Beginner Exercise 49 / Solution

[Diagram]
Solution  

The solution is to capture at B1. Now a and b are miai for life.


[Diagram]
Failure 1  

The connection at B1 is a failure, because after W2, Black has only one eye.

[Diagram]
Failure 2 (W4 connects)  

Directly preventing the white+circle stone from connecting is also a mistake. After W2, Black dies with a nakade.

[Diagram]
Failure 2 (continued)  
[Diagram]
Failure 3  

If B1 here, W2 sets up a ko which Black must win in order to live. Since Black can live unconditionally, this is not the best result. (B3 at a is killed similarly to Failure 2 above)
