Is this broken?

The link to puzzle works and you can place stones (which either result in a red or a green message). So, not broken I think.

I can’t find any move in that puzzle that isn’t red.
So must I assume that the correct response is tenuki?

sent the author of that puzzle a pm, let’s hope we get an answer.
I think the author forgot to mark the solution as correct answer. Also happened to me a few times.

Three more Maeda Nobuaki puzzles from my Father of Tsumego Volume 1. Please also try out my second Father of Tsumego volume. These puzzles are just as good if not better. Enjoy.

I got that because of the ladder, the small M17 b group can live… Did I miss something besides? I didn’t get the correct answer message, I don’t see how b could win this game, tried other moves with other black groups… Am i losing my time?
“I think the author forgot to mark the solution as correct answer.” I’m bit surprised here, you don’t check this?

No, apparently didn’t check this one. Sorry.
Now it works.

problem 2

Here maybe the correct answer is the wrong (il lives instead of die) and the wrong correct (reverse)

The solution is correct, but my caption was incorrect. Changed it to Can White kill black?
Thanks.

With pleasure.
But sorry it’s still wrong.
To kill you need to play K10 (after the J2 exchange) which is marked as wrong in the puzzle. (There is no letters on your dia here too)
The correct answer in the puzzle is wrong as it let’s black live

The program creates these puzzle layouts, not me.
Since it is on the left side of the board the letters start with A, B, etc.

I checked the puzzle this morning and the move sequence is exactly as in the book.

The caption is now: Can white kill black? (the answer can be: no, it can’t).

white can kill but not the way shown :frowning:

how?

I wrote it

Do you mean

There is no J2 and K10 in this puzzle screenshot.
I assume we are still talking about today’s Puzzle 2?

yes and I used the letters from the puzzle itself as you can get them by playing with the format buttons

Yes white can kill and the given solution is wrong

Well, I don’t get it.
