Yes, I wondered about that too. Arek's a strong player, but with 23 moves in the proposed solution, and nothing approaching a proof that the solution works, it doesn't really qualify as a puzzle. It's more like "here is a game that I won". [[User:Selinger|Selinger]] ([[User talk:Selinger|talk]]) 02:16, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Also, the solution is definitely wrong; the Mohex dfpn solver can prove that 22. i6 is winning for Red. [[User:Selinger|Selinger]] ([[User talk:Selinger|talk]]) 03:17, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

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)
