explanations

[vurtual]

Most problems could do with a more in depth explanation. Many present you with a situation, then tell you approximately what they want you to do, then you stab around at a few spaces, each time being told "wrong" but not why it's wrong, restarting and eventually being told "solved" without really understanding why. Once a problem like this is solved, it would be useful to carry on a few moves so we can see why. Also, it would be helpful to know how to recognose these situations in a game, as we won't get a mystical person come and say "white to form seki" in the middle of a game

well it depends on the level of players a problem is aimming at... we don't really want to make poor 5ds play out every single possible threat, right? on the other hand, there should be some decent variations at hand, have u tried "show solution"->"navigate solution"? of course it all depends on the author and if such explanations aren't present u can always ask in the comments... or even at senseis... good luck!
