There must be some way out of here?
Problem
White to play.
Ah this one.
I think the problem is not correct.
When white plays A13 black can play A17.
White can eat the 2 stones but not enough to live.
Okay, first step is that i checked the book I got it from. Both setup and solution are correct, so I didn’t misplace a stone or something like that.
Second step: I followed your path and I can’t find a flaw in it. Maybe others can, but I (7kyu) certainly can’t.
I will add your solution to this problem,.
Never expected that an icon like Hashimoto Utaro (at one time a Honinbo) could make such a mistake.
Thanks for noticing.
And feel free to add your own puzzles in this thread ![]()
BTW
The solution is not correct, it is just another problem than you (and many others) expected.
This is a white to play and Black wins problem.![]()
In chess this is quite normal.
