Ja-Choong Soo quiz 4 solution

RiffRaff: This was the least obvious Ja-Choong Soo move of the quiz, for me. White 1 certainly succeeds in reducing his own liberties, but I'm unsure of the continuation after this.

Ja-Choong Soo quiz 5 solution

RiffRaff: Black 1 seems to provide the best opportunity to simultaneously reinforce white and weaken the two black stones nearby.

Ja-Choong Soo quiz 6 solution

RiffRaff: Black continues to reinforce white's wall, while also walking right into a Hane at the Head of Two Stones.
