Beginner Exercise 26 Solution
White 1 makes the snapback at a and the destroying of the eye at b miai.
Black 2 offers the strongest resistence. However, white 3 is an atari, reducing black's eye space in sente, and white 5 kills.
Some beginners tend to be atari-happy. However, not all ataris are good. This is an example of a bad atari which should not be played. Black 2 connects, and now a and b are miai, so black lives.
Within the space of the bent four, if black were to play first, black can live at 1 or a. Therefore the first move by white must be within the space of the bent four.
