Ko’s can be traumatic. We probably all do remember the first big ko fight we played and - in most cases - lost. And since we - pluralis majestatis - didn’t want that to happen ever again we vowed to avoid all ko’s like the plague.
And that is a pity because ko fights can- believe it or not - also be won.

Guess what, White to play and create a ko. :innocent:

Descending to Black 1 is a quiet move. If White A, Black ataris with B.

The task is to make nice drawings on the board :grin:

…and to study ladders, if you want…

That’s one reason.
But another reason is the thousand times I got a “ko is not the answer” while failing to solve tsumego!!! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

This is one 91-moves puzzle that may haunt you at night. Actually this is from a real pro game where one of them overlooks a certain move.

Black to play and initiates a ko battle. Answering a ko threat or not, that is the question.

I don’t understand this last one. It just instructs you to replay the game.

Don’t understand what you mean.

I meant the 91-moves »haunter«. I can find the first (killing) move alright, but then it doesn’t say »right« until I guessed the entire following game move by move.

No, but it does say when a move is incorrect (and that is more than what you get when you play a game in a tournament).

Well, »incorrect« in the sense of »that’s not the move the pro played«. But that’s not tsumego.

I feel it can be simplified to just finding the killing move as a tsumego problem (like reinforcing some of the walls and render any outside moves irrelevant).
