Puzzle 1
No matter what Red does, Blue can connect via either g5 or g8. Both blue stones at the right are connected to the right (see the Strategy guide for details). The stone at d8 is connected to the left because of the ladder breaker at c2.
Puzzle 2
Puzzle 3
Puzzle 4

Since the cells for the ladder and those for the edge template do not overlap, Red cannot do anything against the connection.
