Beginner Exercise 37 Solution
   

[Diagram]
Diag.: Black can't push

Damezumari (shortage of liberties) prevents White from playing 4 at 5. Thus White is left with a false eye.

Black does not play 1 at 5 for a peep because White would play at 3 and live. (1 and 2 are miai for the second eye.)


[Diagram]
Diag.: Toast

White 2 captures one stone, but Black 3 leaves White dead. The points a and b are miai, meaning that the eye is false.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Change the order?

Black must play 1 and 3 in the order described above.


[Diagram]
Diag.: White says "Thank you"

Black 1 is a thank you move that allows White to connect at 2 and live.
