Snowstorm in the Netherlands. Cool (both in a literal and a figurative way).
How is the weather wherever you are?

It’s raining. 13°. Not too bad.

I do!
Next time you must draw something with your ladder. :wink:

Thanks!

Was working on another idea: an OGS-logo inspired puzzle, wondering if this (provided that Black is to play first) is a seki or not.

Edit: haven’t found the answer yet, so here is a challenge for everyone. :innocent:

White can play D17 instead of D19.

Thanks!
(White C18 should have been at D19.)
Corrected it.

It’s white! :slightly_smiling_face:

Pretty sure this is a seki if black can keep the shared liberties between the outside and inside equal on both sides (no matter black or white to play first)

Utaro Hashimoto… hah!

I was intimidated by the rank and actually didn’t really try to read it, while it was quite simple!
Few possible alternatives, few moves to read.
So silly of me!

Yes, Go is all about luck!

A question for stronger players

I failed to solve this:

because after b D14 I was expecting w D13 instead of D15.
Could someone show me how D13 doesn’t work for white to keep separated black groups?

Summary

Because black can play at B14 (or C13 and then B14) and can create 1st line connection to A16, so it doesn’t matter if black D14 get taken or not

Thanks.

Hi happy campers, jump out of your bed and get active. Do some go puzzles (and don’t be impressed by rankings. Rank is just a number). Hi the hi, ho the ho.

And as an extra … Black to play?
Spot the inconsistency.

Spoiler for last one

The white group in the upper left has no liberties and needs to be removed. If it’s Black to play, then Black has just played a stone but not finished the move.
