Talk:Worst move puzzles
Here's another relatively easy one: Red to play the unique losing move.
I like this slightly less than puzzle 3 because there's an imbalance between red and blue stones; on the other hand, it's slightly more elegant than puzzle 3 because it uses fewer stones overall. The answer is basically the same as puzzle 3, so I think one should not have both. Selinger (talk) 01:49, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
Also, for the record, here is the 7x7 puzzle that Hexanna added and then removed. It is pretty hard, but I still enjoyed thinking about it. I would be in favor of re-adding it to the page, perhaps just indicating that it is a harder puzzle.

For some reason, the diagrams appear in black/white after moving the talk page. Writing a test comment to see if it's fixed. Hexanna (talk) 04:58, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
On the subject of renaming the page: in general, the Wiki style is to use singular titles, so we have joseki and not josekis. That is presumably why Eric chose the singular. But I agree that puzzles and worst move puzzles are an exception, since the page is about a list of puzzles, not about the concept of a puzzle. Selinger (talk) 15:31, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
I chose the singular because I created this with just one puzzle. Demer (talk) 20:41, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
I figure these puzzles should be sorted by difficulty. However, I'm not doing that now, because
I have not yet solved #5, and me editing the Solutions page would probably result in me seeing the solution from there.
and
One would need to decide which of #3,#4 should come before the other of those two.
