A tesuji problem from a professional game I just processed. Black ignored the ko threat  . So he must have a plan for his central group. Note the group is separated because the marked stones cannot be saved. This problem requires some reading but is not too difficult.

Hey! No peeking. Think about shortage of liberties. Nice and easy.
From here, it's hard for white to stop black connecting. Even if white put's 7 in atari, black can play over 9 and it's over. |

To answer Elom: What if I do this now? You can only follow up with 'a', saving some but not all stones.

After 4 I think Black just continues with the blunt 5 and 7 to create the maximum reduction in liberties. If White tries to atari out, there is no answer to 9. As far as I can see, all alternatives produce a similar result.
