Two wholeboard endgame problems

Post by tchan001 »

Just a couple 9X9 wholeboard endgame problems I shared earlier in the KGS L19x19.com room. Have fun.

rough guess (miai values)
a - 3.5
b - 3
c - 4 ish? 3.5 to 4
d - 2
e - 2.5

So my rough feeling is c,a,b,e,d]PL[B]
;B[fd]
;W[ab]
;B[ag]
;W[gi]
;B[ic]
;W[ib]
;B[id]
;W[ad]
;B[ae]
;W[ac])[/sgf-full]

A - 3
B - 5 + seki threat
C - 2
D - 1
E - seki or ko if B
F - 4.75 (ish)

So it seems like the progression should be something like
B,F, E, ...]PL[B]
;B[hi]
;W[ha]
;B[ae]
(;W[bi]
;B[de]
;W[fd]
;B[ic]
;W[fa]
;B[ia]
;W[ga]
;B[]
;W[]TW[aa][ca][ea][fb][gb][dc][dd]TB[hd][id][ie][gf][hf][if][gh][hh][ih][ii]C[B+1])
(;W[de]
;B[bi]
;W[ci]
;B[ah]
;W[fd]
;B[ic]
;W[fa]
;B[ia]
;W[ga]
;B[]
;W[]TW[aa][ca][ea][fb][gb][dc][dd]TB[hd][id][ie][gf][hf][if][gh][hh][ih][ii]C[B+2]))[/sgf-full]

Nice ones.

Each one needs precise counting to get the right answer.
