The problems to all these solutions are to be found on page 1c.
Solutions 1..4 are on page 1d.

Some of the BGJ article had poor typing, as a result some parts are ambiguous. Where I am unsure of what was meant in the article, HTML comments are embedded in this page.

moves to the answers for the next problem.

Solution 5a

This leaves a good play later for Black at .

Solution 5b

But if White plays this 8', Black responds as Soln 5b.

Solution 5c

And if White plays this 6', we get Soln 5c.

Failure 5d

White 4 is necessary for life.

Failure 5e

Failure 5f

(1 & 2 are the same as in the correct answers.)

Solution 6a

This is joseki.

Solution 6b

This is joseki.
[Modern Joseki theory prefers White 5' one space above Black 4, rather than where shown. Refer to 'Get Strong at Joseki Vol 2'.]

Failure 6c

Although this is a joseki, it leaves a weakness at A for Black.

Solution 7a

White must play 4, otherwise Black plays there and captures the stones by a snapback, this retains* sente.
* BGJ uses "gains" not "retains"

Failure 7b

Failure 7c White 2 tenuki White 6 at

In failure 7b, 1 loses sente but leaves the reduction later of 3..5, again losing sente.
In failure 7c, if White does not answer 1, Black can play 3..6 gaining an extra 5 points with* loss of sente.
* Presumably 'move 2' is the loss of sente.
