Beginner Exercise 10 Solution
Solution by lavalyn 17k:
This is a fairly common first move in these semeais - it doesn't take up internal liberties and it prevents black from moving at the marked point before defending that stone - 1 turn. Thus white wins the semeai by one turn. Complete diagram:
lavalyn has posted the correct solution. --unkx80 unkx80 adding failure diagrams.
White 1 here loses the capturing race. Note that black 2 is the only correct play.
This fails as well.
White 1 and 3 appears to create a seki, but this is not a seki. Because the group of stones containing white 3 is dead, so all the white stones are dead. In fact, black 2 can even tenuki. The reason behind this is left as an exercise for the reader.
