Pls check #32 thread to see some five years old quotes about #32a. Seems something rotten in the state of tsumego.

This leads to "bent four in the corner"
Edit: This is even "more" dead due to shortage of liberties :roll:

etc... in all variations, w is unconditionally dead


#33a Advanced problem
With this problem, I'm not really sure. First, it seems clear that there is only one eye around the G19 area. Thus, b has to make a second eye elsewhere, which is only possible in upper left corner. A possible start would be

$$|.35OOX.XO.

(5 is only move for b). After this I can not see how w could prevent a second eye, but maybe I'm missing another important variation.

If ko is not an option due to threats, B could perhas sacrifice right side? After 3, 4 seems forced, and then 5 looks like it lives or runs?

If white answers this way, then a and b are miai for life.
