Mixtour Puzzles

Blue to move. How can Blue put down the double threat by White `d3:3-d5` and `d3:4-e4`? Solution	The solution seems unusual, but is typical for Mixtour and very effective: `d5:2-e4`. Both targets suddenly disappeared. And yes, it’s possible (and sometimes it’s even advantageous) to move your opponent’s discs!

Blue to move and win; the score is 3-4 for Blue (win by 5 points). Solution	The solution is: `d3-e3!` (only one disc) with the threat of `e5:3-e3` (scoring the last point for a win). White can only respond with `c5:3-e3` (scoring the 4th point), which however opens the path for `e5:2-a5`. Note that if White chooses `c5-e3`, Blue moves `e5:3-c5` and after White `c5:2-e3` the winning move for Blue is `c4:4-c5`.
