Crosscut Tactics — Capture the Cutting Stone

[Clossius1]

Crosscuts are one of the most powerful tactical tools in the middle game — especially when they threaten to capture a cutting stone.

I’ve put together 3 Go puzzles that highlight this idea. In each one, Black can use a crosscut tactic to gain an advantage by capturing the cutting stone. Great for sharpening your fighting sense!

Feedback is welcome, and I’d love to hear how you approached each one. Enjoy!

I think the first thing I noticed on mobile is it not saying “Black to play”.

Does it show that when you do the “install” option?

The entire site is always black to play. It doesn’t say on mobile since I was going for a simple look with as little stuff as possible.
