I will try posting some basic life & death problems. Answers will be posted after New Years. (about 1-2 weeks) If any of you like this, or have suggestions please write me.... or post your own version. There will be three problems today. All are taken from a Nihon Kiin publication and are ment for levels 10 kyu and above. In all three problems black is to play first. Question... What is the outcome in each? Can black kill? Is white alive? Seki? You decide. If you have any questions please feel free to send mail to me. #2 A B C D E F G H J K L M N O P Q R S T 1 + - - - - - - - - @ O O - - - O O @ + 2 l + + + + + + + @ + @ O + O + O @ + l 3 l + + + + + + + + + @ @ O O O @ + @ l 4 l + + * + + + + + * + + @ @ + @ + + l 5 l + @ + + + + + + + + + + + + @ + + l 6 l @ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + l 7 l O @ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + l 8 l O @ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + l #1 9 l O @ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + l 10 l @ O @ + + + + + * + + + + + * + + l 11 l O O @ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + l 12 l O @ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + l 13 l O @ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + l 14 l @ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + l 15 l + @ + + + + + + + + + + + + + @ + l #3 16 l + + * + + + + + * + @ @ @ + * + @ @ 17 l + + + + + + + + + + @ O O @ @ @ O l 18 l + + + + + + + + + + @ O + O @ O O l 19 + - - - - - - - - - - - - O - O - - + White = O Black = @ Star Points = * Intersections = +, l, - Bill Kanawyer {ucbvax,adm70,zehntel,unisoft}!dual!bill Dual Systems Corp., Berkeley Ca.
