So this is a little problem that came up in my game… it is actually really simple, but my opponent made a mistake; granted, I made a follow up mistake to his mistake, and he followed up with a mistake that ultimately let me kill it anyway. In the actual game it didn’t make a difference whether it lived or not, but it was an interesting review of our mutual stupidity.
If I recall correctly, White’s chance at life came before this. Can’t remember the exact position, but there was definitely more to this one. When White invaded Black defended wrongly, giving White the chance at life, but White chose death instead.

Ah! I think that rings a bell… I made the first mistake, and White was able to live then but didn’t follow up properly…

This is dead.
I also cannot find a ko 😦
W 2-5; B 1-4
White cannot defend against B1-6 and B2-1 at the same time.

I’m probably being slow here, but what after black responds with 1-4 to 2-5?
I read: W2-5, B1-4, W2-1, B1-6, then White doesn’t have liberties to play 1-5

yeah… the moral of the story here is that when you come up with a solution to a problem on the board after x amount of wine… even the kibitzing 2k will make an error…
