Beginner Exercise 5 Solution
Difficulty: Beginner
lavalyn 17k trying to figure out how to make SL diagrams.
Black can make a ko where he captures first.
Attempts to defend the threatened corner stone does not work. (White dies in gote.)
The squeeze does not work because of damezumari. A nice one-sided ko if there ever was one.
1 'n 3 die, is that group not alive?
SAS: What group? Black 5 captures all White's stones...
unkx80: This solution is perfect. I'll just add a bit more. =) Actually this one is also a kind of bent four in the corner.
If black wins the ko, he will connect at 1. The white group becomes a bent three big eye and dies. RexWalters: This is especially important if white has one more liberty (say the marked stone is missing). In this case the squeeze play above does give white life.
Black 1 is at the wrong point, white 2 lives.
