RTG Problem 6 / Solution

Sub-page of RTGProblem6

Solution

[Diagram]
White to play.  

The first move has to be W1 here, it seems like the vital point. It's both a peep at a and the eye-stealing tesuji in conjunction with b.

[Diagram]
B fails to connect  

White has 4 liberties to 2 (maybe 3 to 2 for other placements of 1) and kills the cut stones, and with them the group.

[Diagram]
White steals the second eye  

Now White just has to connect out, and unless Black plays a sagari, White simply pushes through.

[Diagram]
Black descends  

And in this case, the stones are cut off and die.

[Diagram]
Black makes a diagonal  

The diagonal at B3 is answer by W4.



Failure

[Diagram]
Too impatient.  

W3 is too impatient. B4 to B8 lives, White merely received some endgame profit.
