Ignoring an L12 first move, I see 5 moves which win in 3 or fewer moves - H8, H10, K14, K10 and K12 (J8 doesn't win in 3 against best defense).

watsu is now no longer allowed to respond to my puzzles as i am convinced he is an advanced ai created secretly in a collaboration with rollie tesh and mark mammel.
in fact, he should not be able to respond to any post as it requires checking the "i'm not a robot" box.

Tons of moves win in 4 moves, including your J14 H13 combo. I simply chose to focus on moves which win in 3 or fewer moves.

you are correct as usual.
i was considering an unblockable 4 as a win.
but it isn't game til the fifth stone drops.
