    TwT:
    Thank you, posetcay The hint before was like (connection and separation). A plain "x to kill" sounds best, however, rating increased steadily. A recurring topic: How much hints to give? In a best possible world I hope for a consensus leading to some "rules of governance" so we not have to rediscuss the same question. If you want make it "plain".

    The ending of the seq and the way to prevent the escape (see comment from Master Ivan below) is not obvious. I will add some seq to highlight the 2 correct moves in the tree. If our Masters can give their thoughts about the continuation it would be fantastic :)
    posetcay:
    I wouldn't really say G5 is inferior to F5, it reverts to basically same shape after opponent cuts.

    The last move is hard to find because it's actually not a reducing move. Write "White to play (reduce and connect)" looks better.
    Ivan Detkov:
    This is more like a kill.
