Ever have your opponent play a ko threat and you're like  and then you connect the ko and then you resign 3 moves later? Here's an easy kyu tsumego that resulted from that exact situation. White to live with those middle 6 stones. It's kind of obvious, but make sure you read it out completely |

I think I know what you're after but after 7 forcing moves and answers,  leaves Black in a loose ladder and White's top group has two liberties. At that point, Black can atari that group from the inside. Or there's a variation I'm missing but in any case I wouldn't call it obvious.

since the first problem was such a hit, here another little reading exercise from a recent game. Black to reduce white's "territory". This one should really be easy.

Kind of like that spiral ladder problem from Kageyama's Lessons in the Fundamentals of Go: I would also consider that an easy problem, since there's no branching whatsoever. You just have to place the stones on your mental goban. |
