Beginner Exercise 7 / Solution

KarlKnechtel suggests:

[Diagram]

White first to live.

After capturing, B2 and B4 are miai for life. If Black does not play B2 or B4, a white play there secures the second eye immediately: capture three to make an eye.


lavalyn adds:

[Diagram]

Too early!

W1 on the first line without extending the white line doesn't work. It just creates a false eye.

[Diagram]

Still too early! B6 at B2

Similarly, extending the white line by a single stone doesn't work because Black has a sacrifice move B6 at B2, to eliminate White's eye.
