Beginner Exercise 57 / Solution

Solution.

Reducing the eye space is the key here. W1 and W3 hanes, and reduce the black group into a bent three. The placement at W5 is the final touch.

[Diagram]

Variation 1 (W7 at W1)

This one is similar. Capturing W1 and W3 will not give Black his second eye.

[Diagram]

Variation 2

B2 is interesting. But White plays at W3, and a and b are miai. Black is still dead.

[Diagram]

Failure 1

The hane at W1 is the wrong play. After B2, W3 and B4 are miai.

[Diagram]

Failure 2.

The direct attachment at W1 allows Black (and White) to live with a seki, as in the previous problem.
