Gokyo Shumyo, Section 1, Problem 60 / Solution

Solution

[Diagram]

Main line

W1 is another ambush on the first line. W5 is the inevitable throw-in tesuji.

[Diagram]

Continuation

If Black captures, W2 creates shortage of liberties.

[Diagram]

Variation

If Black plays at B2, a or b, White will always answer at the vital point W3.

[Diagram]

Comment on the preceding diagram

Malcolm I'm not sure, but the comment in the previous diagram may not be entirely correct. Here W3 lives and may be better than a.


Failures

Failure 1

[Diagram]

Failure 2

[Diagram]

B2 at W3 also kills.
