Problem 26

[Diagram]

Problem 26, 3 stars

"What is the most profitable way for Black to take the corner?"

[Diagram]

Solution from the book

The solution to squeeze seems to be wrong to me.

[Diagram]

My (better) solution

Black could just capture all stones by this move 3.


Problem 433

[Diagram]

Problem 433, 4 stars

Black to rescue his three stones in the corner.

[Diagram]

Problem 433, 4 stars, Book Solution

White loses the three stones on the left after B1. All of Black's stones, but for black+circle, are united into a single living group.

Problem 433, 4 stars

Does this B1 accomplish the same goals? A single problem is not supposed to have more than one solution, I'm told.

[Diagram]

Problem 433, 4 stars

Skylancer? (2k): What if white just connects? Black can cut off a stone in sente, but his four outside stones are stranded. In the book solution given, Black can connect everything.

Hmmm...yes.
