There is nothing truly difficult about the problem. Just try to read it out. Chang Hao (Black) apparently could not because he continued for some time before resigning. -- HolIgor

/Solution


anon: My main complaint about local problems that are provided on a whole board is that one needs to do a lot of searching to find where the problem is. This is a bit artificial because in a real game one is very familiar with the board and usually knows where to look for issues. My suggestion would be to tell the reader generally where the problem is (e.g., by marking relevant stones or indicating side of the board or some such). The problem is to read out a sequence, not to hunt for where to start. Showing the whole board is only important for whole board problems (which this is not).
