###Open, locks, Whoever knocks!
A hard Dan puzzle that skillfully shows how much can happen in a very small space, including sacrifice, surprising life and death and a shape that looks like a house with a white door. Wow!
#October 2014:
###The Wheel of Wheels!
A giant ladder wheeling over the whole board. Players just have to click the next move to see the magic enroll. Very cool for beginners to get a feeling of whatâs possible on a Go board!

In my opinion, one of the most clever Tsumego ever created. Enough said!

###But I donât want to sacrifice!
This puzzle is a classic, showing Double-Digit-Kyu players why sacrificing is often important for the greater picture. I love it, because you can only win with a big sacrifice.

###Count the snake!
This puzzle was one of the first posted on OGS and it is very cool for Beginners. While it is not too hard, it gives a valuable lesson why counting liberties is better then killing immediately.

###Butterfly Effect!
This little gem shows intermediate players how to deal with a cut after a common joseki, and how not do deal with it. Iâve learned something from it, and so can you!
