Čech cohomology of an affine cover can differ from sheaf cohomology

On , let and let be its constant sheaf. For the two closed rational points , take skyscraper sheaves with value , and put . The maps on the two stalks are identities, so this is a sheaf surjection. All three displayed outer sheaves are flasque. The induced global map is the diagonal , so . The one-member affine cover has zero positive Čech cochains. This even gives an -module example: let regular functions act on all copies of by multiplication as rational functions, not by evaluation at the closed point. The kernel is not quasi-coherent.
