Kyu Exercise 47 / Solution

Solution (B8 at W3)

W1 makes an eye, and then the throw-in at W3 is important for reducing Black's liberties by one. After W9, White wins the capturing race. (Neither side can play at a, but White can approach from b.)

[Diagram]

Failure 1

W3 forgot to make the required throw-in, B4 connects and Black wins the capturing race.

[Diagram]

Failure 2 (B4 at B2, B10 at marked stone)

W1 here doesn't form a bigger eye. Black wins the capturing race by one move.
