❤ PUZZLES: A tsumego a day keeps the doctor away

Link seems to be broken for the interactive puzzle.

Forget to change it to not private. I only put some variations in, most points don’t have variations. Way too many intersections…

Black to start.

I don’t know where I can give feedback on your problems, but I sometimes get correct moves labeled as wrong e. g. because they omit some unnecessary forcing move. Example: Play Go at online-go.com! | OGS — you don’t need to play atari on two stones before building the second eye.

Thanks for your feedback. I checked if I made a mistake in entering the solution into the OGS Puzzle program. I didn’t make a mistake.
This doesn’t have to mean that you are wrong. The solution that is given in the Dutch Go Magazine is the one that I presented here. There may be other correct solutions.
I haven’t discovered yet if it is possible to allow more correct solutions in the OGS Puzzles program.
By the way: not sure if I am going to try to find out if it is possible. After a three months period in which I entered more than 3100 puzzles (only about 200 more to go), I think I need some time off. :crazy_face:

I think you just put them like variation trees and label them wrong or correct.

Thanks, I just checked the tool, and it is possible to mark multiple positions as correct.

I think the online clickable format has some different expectations than the printed magazine format. In a magazine, you can just show one example solution path, and the reader can think about the little variations by himself. In the clickable form, it is frustrating to enter a correct move and getting it labeled as error.

Thanks for your effort anyway! It’s a great resource.

Many of you discovered the first volume of Maeda Nobuaki’s Father of Tsumego collection, which up until today got more than 55 K views. The second volume is just as fascinating as the first volume.
So I handpicked the four following puzzles from the second volume of Maeda Nobuaki’s Father of Tsumego. Smell them, pick them up, caress them and don’t forget to solve them. And I bet you can’t stop after those puzzles. No problem, there are 206 more in this collection. Go for it.

I think this one needs one more move.

Here...

… wouldn’t it be better to cut at E3 and capture?
I can’t see a response by white that saves those stones.

Suddenly feeling a lot stronger today :crazy_face:
Enjoy!

You may already have noticed that I added a new collection that deals with whole board problems: the Dutch Go Magazine Whole Board Problems [Atorrante].
Some of the puzzles are just funny, but some are real hard problems. This collection is still a work in progress.

The last puzzle of today is part of that collection. So if you want more of this type of puzzles you know where to find them :crazy_face:

By the way: the Treasure Chest Enigma also contains 20 whole board problems, so if I have time (and haven’t gone stark raving mad before) I will enter these some day. :grin:
