White just played his second to last stone with Sa4. Black has the flat lead, but has 8 stones left to be played. How does Black win? (There are a few options here.)
Just a couple notes:
This is probably the longest puzzle that I've made, let me know if it is too long.
Also, for those of you unfamiliar with the term, Gaelet is what u/Bismuthsnake came up with for a flat win. It mirrors Tinue in that it is a non-real word from Kvothe's world. Gaelet refers to the ruthless moneylenders and seems to fit a flat win due to all the counting involved and the end game maneuvering reminds me of haggling back and forth to iron out terms of a contract.

Mastering Tak: Level I -- Walkthroughs
Below are the 2 games that I did in depth analyses on in my first book. Like my puzzles, these are interactive frames taken from Craig Laparo's PTN Ninja (http://ptn.ninja/), so you can not only navigate between moves but actually take the game from any board state and explore different options. If you are unfamiliar with how to use his software or would like to make a donation, click on the menu button on the top left of ptn.ninja and select "About PTN Ninja".
As always, I am open to suggestions regarding the content of my blogs, puzzles, and (now) book! So, let me know if you want me to explore a certain topic or if you have a board state that you would like a puzzle made from.
Thank you for your purchase!
