❤ PUZZLES: A tsumego a day keeps the doctor away

Slightly modified from an SDK game.

I think the object is to kill, but that the path is a little more complex than just seeing the key move. That’d hardly be a tsumego by itself, after all.

As far as I can see, White can secure both eye denial and disconnection in a double ko (in one variation).

Wow! No more easy/ medium/ hard?

Qi Jing Zhong Miao is my new nemesis.
“Easy”!!! 18k!!!

Qi Jing Zhong Miao is a nice collection, thanks for bringing it to my attention. Will study it more careful and use it in this thread.

Indeed no more easy/ medium/ hard. Just wanted to avoid the (futile) discussion whether a puzzle is easy, medium or hard.

Experiment: instead of looking for some interesting puzzles I put some random numbers in. (Yes, I am lazy today.)

Author labelled this as a 9 dan puzzle. Not sure if this correct, but nonetheless an interesting and exciting puzzle. Use Hint option only when you are stuck.
