L & D for professionals
for those who want to solve professional level LD problem.
top professionals in Korea(choi chulhan, kim jisuk, and few more) could not solve this problem for 20 minute and gaveup.
but someone claimed that there is an answer to this problem.

edit: i cound not solve this and i dont have answer.
i am hoping someone or i can comeup with correct answer soon.

Re: L & D for professionals
How do you know it's even solvable? In other words, assuming it's black to play, are you sure that black can kill?

i am pretty sure there is an answer. according to the video one website made a page dedicated to this problem. i am thinking they will not do that if it has no solution.

Re: L & D for professionals
A few thoughts that are perhaps obvious:
It seems that if you don't play O19, White gets an easy eye:
Edit: Nevermind. I had some idea about ignoring M19, but it clearly does not work...

Re: L & D for professionals
Hmm, when you dig in to this problem there are some interesting half-sequences to consider. Consider the usual fundamentals for L&D: reduce eye space to a killable shape and then play the vital point.
So let's consider the hane on the right.
Anyway, those are my thoughts. Maybe a stronger player can take them and run with it.

At least I never claimed to not be an idiot
But I still feel good about Q18 - I'm going to study it some and see if there's a non-obvious sequence after Q17. Under the stones eye stealing or something, maybe.
