Beginner Exercise 70 / Solution

[Diagram]
Solution  

Play on the point of symmetry is a good rule in such positions. Since the shape is symmetrical, we show Black replies on one side only - a to c.

[Diagram]
a above  

W3 is atari and Black connects easily.

[Diagram]
b above  

B4 seems to prevent connection - but Black is caught in a snapback. B4 at B6 is met by W5 at B4 - snapback again.

[Diagram]
c above  

White connects again. This is practically the best for Black.


[Diagram]
Failure  

W1 only helps Black to prevent the snapback. Keep options open on the second line - in the "a above" diagram, White plays atari on the side with a Black stone on the first line.

Failure continued
