Beginner Exercise 43 / Solution

Solution

Solution

White has one eye in the right half. B1 is the point to falsify the left eye. White doesn't have to resist with W2, but nothing else works for her either. W2 at B3 fails because Black can capture at a. Now b and c are miai for the kill.

[Diagram]

The circled point is now a false eye

Notice how the black+circle's cause the circled point to become a false eye.

This is a classic example of the eye stealing tesuji.


Failures

[Diagram]

Failure 1

Pushing at B1 allows W2 to live.

[Diagram]

Failure 2

B1 here is met by W2, securing the left eye - just be careful, W4 at a is a blunder. Other tries all fail: B1 at b or W4 are immediately captured.
