Beginner Exercise 97 / Solution

Sub-page of BeginnerExercise97

This problem is an extension of Beginner Exercise 96.

[Diagram]

Solution

The first key move is the throw-in at B1.

[Diagram]

Solution (continued)

When W4 connects, the cut at B5 is the second key move, just like Beginner Exercise 96.

[Diagram]

Solution (continued 2)

Because of shortage of liberties created by the marked stone, White cannot reduce Black's liberties at a - he has to capture black+circle with W8 first. So B9 wins the capturing race by one move.


[Diagram]

Failure.

Directly reducing White's liberties at B1 is wrong. After W2, White can approach at a next.
