Kyu Exercise 4 Attempts
Keywords: Problem
I am only 12 kyu on KGS so this is definitely a kyu-level attempt.
![[Diagram]](../../diagrams/29/5912a6617e6fa202ea9b3c1e648d9dd2.png) | Solution 1: Black first kills |
Throw in with to create a bulky five shape.
![[Diagram]](../../diagrams/39/08d0dd662a8c78df746cd70debd4792b.png) | Solution 1 failure: White lives |
My first instinct was to throw in at to create the bulky five shape but refutes that.
![[Diagram]](../../diagrams/5/9a741fbd3c0871a4a51a30c41d8dcebb.png) | Solution 2: Black first kills |
This seems to be another solution.
![[Diagram]](../../diagrams/24/994a398321323553c0ebb36b92f3ddd5.png) | Solution 2 variation: White 2 |
White dies.

Dieter: (I have to write something on page 5000?) This variation is to be considered too, I think. After , a play at 1 and at the marked stone are miai to live.

unkx80: Thanks for the attempts. =)
Black should play at . Then if connects, kills the group. If is played at instead, then Black plays at and White is still dead (a is a false eye).
I'll create the solution page at a later time.
![[Diagram]](../../diagrams/37/c11076f01a0a395630270b45624d10b6.png) | Variation |
If White captures immediately, Black captures the two stones on the left.
![[Diagram]](../../diagrams/26/55ffef02c47f67b3ad74dc7d602a3d7e.png) | Variation |
If here, there is no eye at the stones and a dead shape in the eyespace.
Goantti: I'll add a missing variation.
![[Diagram]](../../diagrams/42/6614674dfc1990c1ae013c5e99d8d2d9.png) | Variation |
White can try but then Black plays .
![[Diagram]](../../diagrams/47/8befa75050a22c1f2433a77956768b5f.png) | Variation |
Now the points a and b are miai to kill.
![[Diagram]](../../diagrams/31/56418f64db6df3ede3965ef7c3108b84.png) | Not the same problem anymore |
I calculated also the variation where instead above, White plays counter-atari at . It would have worked if there had been one more line of white stones on the right. In this case White would not take at a but would atari at instead.
- Bill: Oh, don't stop now!
above takes six white stones.
![[Diagram]](../../diagrams/1/be6a2af14b64c472ef8d2cce10c950f3.png) | Under the stones |
Now kills the three stones (under the stones). If then oshitsubushi prevents a dead shape.
