the following problem is problem #42 in the Just Go life and death training. I think Black should be trying to prevent the eye that A2 and B1 can form. But I cant figure this one out.

Tips: in a dead shape (or a seki if you haven't filled outside liberties yet, such as D1, F1), you need to be connected. in particular, everything needs to be connected to one central stone. Normally 2-1 at A2 is vital for eyespace. But in this case, playing 2-1 doesn't help because A2 and the C3 on the board are too far apart to be connected. But that doesn't mean you can't kill, especially as F1 is an approach liberty that you don't need if W puts themselves in self-atari. A2 is open enough that it could be an eye. That is, you have enough liberties and W lacks enough liberties to compete for it. |

When the problem is so small you can try every variation, it's a good reading exercise anyway. |
