I am especially interested in go problems on small and smallest boards. Some time ago, I made up a page with 3x4Problems. Up to now, there are only six of them, but if anyone solves them, I'll add more ;)

A DGS game, with his first two moves Black plays two 3-3 points.
White: Findet man Erdöl, wenn man so tief bohrt?
Black: Was glaubst du, warum meine Steine alle schwarz sind?

If anyone can translate this, please do :)

Translation attempt:
A DGS game, with his first two moves Black plays two 3-3 points.
White: With foundations as deep as that, do you ever strike oil??
Black: Why do you think my stones are black??

There is a 3d+ player called "SanSan" on IGS for whom this is a typical strategy. It seems to work reasonably well for him.

the shape of ancient victories,
and victories they earned.
