Beginner Exercise 191 / Solution

Solution

[Diagram]

Solution

Black must prevent White's main threat, atari at a. The only correct solution is B1.

[Diagram]

Continuation 1

If W2 here, then B3 captures and lives.

[Diagram]

Continuation 2

If W2 makes a throw-in, B3 captures and lives. Beware, B3 at a is a blunder - it's a snapback.


Failure

[Diagram]

Failure 1

B1 fails to W2, since Black will not be able to avoid a ko. See Beginner Exercise 194 for more.

[Diagram]

Failure 2

B1 at the corner is still worse - W2 renews the threat and B3 at a dies in gote.
