I'm starting a consolidation thread for Pente puzzles; some were published in the old Pente newsletters or Pente Strategy books, some are on various players' websites and some are scattered around the forums. Eventually, I'd like to get them sorted by (rough) level of difficulty.
All of the boards posted below are puzzles from the newsletters and are white to play and win in X number of (white) moves. Author's name given where known. Capture score (if any) shown. First moves for these puzzles can be found in this thread.
1. X=4 Yin-Yang
2. X=5 J.D. Rollie Tesh
3. X=4 Alladin's Lamp Rollie Tesh
4. X=4 Wrong Angle Rollie Tesh
5. X=6 Gorilla at Large Scott Justice
Retired from TB Pente, but still playing live games & exploring variants like D, poof and boat
