tsumego exploration #19

Post by cyclops »

On Topasz' request I will open a new thread for every new series of problems.
#17 & #18 are in my previous thread. Sverre solved #18 while #17c is not killed yet unconditionally. ( there is no garantee it is possible, but about all were ) I give some additional time. ;-)
This threads tries to repeat the success of explo's tsumego problems at Godiscussions 5 years ago. I am just copying.

I don't see any stronger responses for white. Everything else seems to turn out the same.

Elementary problem

White has a length-5 potential eyespace open at both ends. Two hanes in either order reduces him to a 3-space killable shape. The 1-2 point also kills, by bent 4.

Intermediate problem

White is threatening to split his eyespace and live. Starting at the 1-2 point is the only viable attack.

Advanced problem
If W captures B's 4 stones, he is alive no matter what, so this is necessarily a semeai problem. Black can't make a big eyeshape but even a small eye can force the opponent to spend approach moves.

You get one point with a question mark. ;-) to be shared with Topasz, Noname& Sverre
And an official warning because you spoiled my splendid "solution". ;-)
