Beginner Exercise 44 Solution
   

[Diagram]
Diag.: Black first, what is the result?

KarlKnechtel: Black 1 threatens Black 3 at 2 which would make the second eye false; White must block. After Black 3, White can't connect with White 4 at 5 because of damezumari; and with any other response Black 5 captures, preventing the requisite two eyes. Even with the capture and connection of White 4, Black 5 still destroys the eye, so White is dead.
