I propose the removal of puzzle 5 unless someone can prove the solution is good (because the bot disagrees strongly). At the start, KataHex thinks Blue has only a 35% win rate, with either 1. b8 or b10. Move 8 is a mistake; Red f9 instead has a 98.6% win rate. Move 22 at j2 is only 3% for Red; KataHex suggests i6 which is 99% for Red. Hexanna (talk) 01:01, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
