If you start reading this way, you might be able to visualize the under the stones position.

Re: Ekisei Tsubiho 1
A little late, but my process for the first one:
The solution is... er... to be announced at a later date.

Re: Ekisei Tsubiho 1
I'm still a bit behind on the First one, although I do get the feeling that capturing-stones-captured stones puzzles .
It's interesting that this particular tsumego from china was a tsuhibo. Given that hints are often given Chinese names I wonder if assisted puzzles were more common in China than Japan during that time period (and maybe Japan later adopted it more?)

before the rest connects. Still this is worth exploring more. What if I also throw in on the left and force black to loosely connect his groups? 
before T2 and can take 
instead of connecting, but I don't think anything will change the result. I'm mainly trying to decide if the order of the two marked white stones matters and double checking all of blacks moves really are forcing moves.
over "a" because white then has the option of capturing a stone immediately and gaining a liberty if it becomes necessary later.

Re: Ekisei Tsubiho 1
My thinking so far--thank you for the diagram jlt!
My First written foray will focus on the many captures black can make . . .

Re: Ekisei Tsubiho 1
Two moves have been suggested.
Studying the first:
Studying the second:
The first move results in a ko (if Black's reply turns out to be optimal), the second move results in death. Therefore, only the first move deserves further reading (starting with Black 2 at 3) to find out whether a better ko or status can be achieved.

However:
So white needs to play at that point directly . . .

Re: Ekisei Tsubiho 1
Thank you for your notes!
at 
for example. It still lives (insert effortful practice ; )), so you have to go back even further.
is Black's key point to live when White decides to atari right away, why not play there yourself?I recently finished a game in which I thought I'd lost a few points the endgame. Having already estimated being behind by just under komi, it seemed that there wasn't anywhere to catch up, however, an ai analysis believed that black had only about .64 of a victory, and that before the slip I was actually a little ahead. Perhaps it was the amount of unclear endgame positions that seemed a bit above me to play correctly that influenced over-pessimism--that and that it looked too good to mess up with my bad moves!
So I came up with a strategy for satisfyingly finishing endgames that look too good to misplay, which also happens to seem to help here where the stones are spread out in a way that makes it hard to have a solving strategy . . .
