    This one was really hard. I had thought about B15 as a first move, but I couldn't figure out what the correct response would be after 2. C16 3. C15 4. A16. After reviewing, I see the way forward for this line. Start with 5. A18, which forces 6. A19 capturing A18. Then after sealing in with 7. A15, the opponent is in atari and can only escape with 8. A18, but this leaves them in a lost capturing race.

    This doesn't seem like "easy life" anymore. It's ko. I'm guessing the original black move was A16 and white can live with: C19 B14 A18 A15 (which also doesn't seem "easy") but it doesn't appear in the review so I'm just guessing.

    Instead of capturing B4 after stopping the connection at C4, couldn't white extend to B6?

    It's a ko threat but ok.

    Can't White make a ko here ? With B15 C15 C16 A15 ? I see that there is no indication on that problem, but here it seems that White does not try the strongest defense.

    The problem says "white to play". I don't understand the second move of black (1-5), why not 1-4?
