Practicing Reading Out Ladders

  Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: Tactics

In the book Lessons In the Fundamentals of Go Kageyama advises to practice reading out ladders stone by stone.

I would like to create some practice diagrams which are starting off gently and small, advancing towards more difficult diagrams.

It's easy to find the first and all other white moves to capture the marked black stones. But read it out. (Is the diagram correct?)

From the cover of The Treasure Chest Enigma by Nakayama Noriyuki.

Solution

(The SGF says its black to move...?)

obviously it is white to move, or there is no ladder.
