    [sent via mail]<br> Hello Joshka,<br> Thank you for such a rapid response!<br> You are doubtless a much better Go player than I am (because I need to use resources like Easy Kill on Tsumego Hero in order to improve). And yes, the instructions are indeed "Black to play", so a "best possible outcome" is what is expected.<br><br> However: This collection is called "Easy Kill" and as far as I can tell, all the other exercises in the collection have "Xxxxx to kill" as the instruction. As the problem stands, black has no "kill", as such. I don't see a ko threat for black shown elsewhere on the board in this problem. The idea of exploiting a ko threat elsewhere on the board is not obviously part of the solution.<br><br> Perhaps this problem could be moved to a more advanced collection, so that it does not cause confusion for those who expect all the problems in a collection called "Easy kill" to be resolved with an easy kill : )<br><br> Best regards, James

    This problem gives now the hint, that it is ko. It should remove most of the confusion that new players have here. Maybe we replace it later with a no ko problem.

    So it's not an unconditional kill; that's what I was missing. Thank you.
    Farkas:
    You are welcome.

    I think Wayne is right. After (B1, D2, A2), A1 by white is ko. If black can't find a ko threat then white is alive, right? Can someone please tell me what I'm missing here?
    Farkas:
    I don't exactly understand your comment. The task is: Black to play (and try to kill). The best solution is kill with ko. In this regard it is irrelevant if there is any ko-threat on the board.

    Finally found the 'correct' answer to 127/200 (S19, Q18, T18), but surely T19 saves here.

    I disagree with your comment.
