    Question

    Howdy!

    A couple of life and death problems ...

    Problem a: White moves, black dies (5-7 kyu range)

    Problem b: Black moves, black lives (relatively easy - 15-20 kyu?)



    Source:
    I found problem "a" while working through Maeda's Life and Death (elementary level), by Maeda Nobuaki. Interesting problem!

    Solutions, comments, and discussion welcome.

    Enjoy!

    Howdy WJE,

    Take another look at Problem a (not quite that simple). Your answer for Problem b is correct.

    Enjoy!
