Starting hint for Ninuki puzzle
At first glance you might think white must move to L1D1 to block the split four, but remember the rule about perfect five -- a five does not immediately win, the next player may capture a stone out of the five and the game continues. If it is black's turn and moves to L1D1 white can capture one of the stones by moving to L4D2 -- but of course black will replace it and win. If white does not move to L1D1 (which is not a winning threat - why not?) white must be able to make FIVE captures in a row after black makes the five in a row.
