Tsumego #3: a tesuji problem. White to play and get a good result. What are the next few moves?

That kind of position is beyond my reading horizon in a real game, even though it was a slow game on a physical board.

It's also possible that black doesn't answer the way you'd expect with the initial push. Maybe something weird, I dunno - it's not totally clear to me:

:b6: and friends are down to two liberties. The points a and b are miai, so I think black can't escape being captured. But I don't think of this as tesuji, white is playing fairly blunt moves. Or have I missed something better?

Re: tsumego 3. Here is Katago's analysis.

Suppose first that White pushes, Black blocks and White cuts.

(White shouldn't play :w7: at E15, otherwise Black sacrifices three stones and plays :b8: at :w7:.)

If Black protects the four stones with :b6:, then other stones are caught in a ladder.

However, before blocking, Black may want to make the exchange K14-L13 first, in which case the above variations don't work anymore, so White has to play :w5: differently. Black has to extend at :b6: otherwise the preceding variations work again, and then :w7: captures the cutting stone K12 in a ladder.

I know these moves are blunt, but because my reading is too shallow, I couldn't see that a succession of 7 blunt moves actually works. That's one of the reasons why I am a kyu player...

Tsumego 4, analysis by Katago:
Suppose White cuts with :w6: as in Kirby's and xela's posts, then White loses somes stones but ends in sente: after :w10:, Black needs to play "a".
