for those who want to solve professional level LD problem.
top professionals in Korea(choi chulhan, kim jisuk, and few more) could not solve this problem for 20 minute and gaveup.

but someone claimed that there is an answer to this problem.
lets see if anyone here can solve this problem.

How do you know it's even solvable? In other words, assuming it's black to play, are you sure that black can kill?

yes black to play.

i saw the video and many professionals tried :b1: as a first move..and could not solve it. it might help you solve them.

i am pretty sure there is an answer. according to the video one website made a page dedicated to this problem. i am thinking they will not do that if it has no solution.

A few thoughts that are perhaps obvious:

It seems that if you don't play O19, White gets an easy eye:

Hmm, when you dig in to this problem there are some interesting half-sequences to consider. Consider the usual fundamentals for L&D: reduce eye space to a killable shape and then play the vital point.

So let's consider the hane on the right.

This sequence here is bad for white, certainly. So if black hanes here, white can't counter hane and save the stones.

Not a local capture, but we force white to try and live in the center maybe. Assuming play up to here is optimal for either side, is there a trick to contain and kill the white group from here?

Anyway, those are my thoughts. Maybe a stronger player can take them and run with it.

Numsgil: In your last diagram, white can play 2 at J17 and make an eye easily.

And thereafter with :w6: what has been mentioned to be the vital point of this problem.
Black loses some tempo because he must connect at a and b. And c remains as Sente for White, too.

@Cassandra:

Ah yes. Figured there was a good refutation since it's a hard problem and I'm not a strong L&D-er.

Still, I think that's the right track. Maybe do some other stuff first before the hane. The hane there has a lot of aji. More than it really looks like it should (to my eyes anyway). So I think it's just a matter of figuring out when the time is right to activate it.

...

Are we absolutely sure that 'c' in your diagram is sente? Capturing two stones doesn't give white an eye, after all, since it has a defect. It's just a matter of containing white so he can't make another eye further along the edge. I'm wondering if there's a clever tesuji that would work here.

...

Are there any under the stones play that would be at all useful here?

The above doesn't work ('a' and 'b' are miai), but it's close (in that if black had one more move here, or a shortage of liberties to take advantage of for the throw in, it would work) and the sort of tricky stuff I'd expect from a hard problem. So maybe do some stuff first to prep for this somehow.

...

Also, what about something like this (both sides ignoring the left black stones in atari). You start a ko (I'm not sure the type name. Two step?). Obviously those black stones in atari sort of muck things up a bit. But if black wins the ko white has no eyes on the right so that's maybe something? Is there a way to then contain white to just a single eye on the left?

Nothing quite works yet but I feel like these are some pieces of the puzzle.

Black cannot connect at a, because White c is Double-Atari then.
If Black plays c, White gets a Double-Ko at a and b.

At least I never claimed to not be an idiot :)

But I still feel good about Q18 - I'm going to study it some and see if there's a non-obvious sequence after Q17. Under the stones eye stealing or something, maybe.

Another thought, has anyone looked seriously at capturing immediately to prevent white's forcing move?

There are some problems, where :b5: is the Tesuji.
But here Black cannot do anything on the left, so there is no Miai with the potential Ko on the right.


Preventing White's Sente on the left immediately ...
... will not work, I suppose.

One of the a is an eye and b is the second one.

Edit: Nevermind. I had some idea about ignoring M19, but it clearly does not work...


I'm not sure what is wrong with your B1. B5&r19 next in your diagram seems to kill W. Or??
