That's some awesome reading. I'm usually pretty good with these types of problems, but I just stared blankly for a while at this one.

Thank you! Although I have to admit, that I didn't read it all in my head! :oops:

I originally only read it to the end of the first diagram and thought I was done, but when I looked at the diagram before submitting my answer, I realized that 'a' worked, so I had to read some more! :mrgreen:

Concerning the rest of the problems: I think I know the right move for Page 1, Problem C, but can't read through all the variations! For Page 3, Problem B, I see a ladder, but it runs out of the diagram, so I don't know if it's supposed to be the solution!

If a ladder runs out of "the zone" with nothing blocking it, the ladder works and probably is the solution.

Regarding Zwergesels solutions:

In that case I see this for Page 3, Problem B:

Wow I had a massive blind spot for this problem

The others are taking a while, but I found solutions to B and D on the first page:

Good work so far from all of you! All the problems except C and D from page 1 is from Segoe's tesuji dictionary the other two from graded go problems for danplayers.

The Segoe book's is awesome and i recommend it for everyone that wants a good collection of different practical tesuji problems.

The only warning is page 1 problem A is quite hard. I couldnt solve it myself so cant really guess the level of it but the solution is quite sweet

If all becomes solved ill put out some new ones when i solved some more myself so i got some personal favourites.
