Beginner Exercise 24 Solution
  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Problem

Solution by lavalyn:

[Diagram]
One eye goes away

W1 eliminates the eye at the edge - a and b are miai for the white group escape to safety.



[Diagram]
Failure

W1 here fails after B2 - he will take the marked point without difficulty, making the second eye.


[Diagram]
Peep first?

While the peep of W1 must be answered, the kill still requires W3.



[Diagram]
What about this?

Curious to know what would happen if W1 was played. Looks right in my head.

unkx80: W1 is correct too as it makes miai of a and b but I don't think this will be encouraged because it might be making extra investment for the same returns.

victim: This will give B an extra ko threat at a. Always play in the way giving the opponent as few threats as possible (everything else being equal) and as small threats as possible.
