Bonobo showed me how to become famous by answering your own questions. So here I go.  at a or at be that is the question.1.  and both proof that the combination   solves the problem.2. Both a and b proof that equally well. In that sense there is no best 3. the app shouldn't disapprove of my solution ( at a ).3. w won't answer until the endgame or as threats in a ko fight.4. If in a ko fight W eventually threatens at  B will answer at a because the penalty of not answering it is more severe than after b.5. The proverb sente first gote later is a good guide in situations like this. 6. Only if you can attack W's south wing playing at b might be better.

Since White's threat is much larger than Black's, it can hardly be wrong for Black to play at "a" to eliminate White's threat.  Besides,  and are for illustrative purposes. In a real game White would play first.

In hindsight my question was not of that much interest. Well, in a real game, White would probably play elsewhere after , saving  , , and as potential ko threats. But in a problem it is important to have White play them. is important, because Black could misplay . and are important to show that White cannot take away the eye on the second line because of damezumari. But it is silly to criticize your in the problem line, and, to judge from complaints here, that kind of thing is not uncommon with interactive problem software. I think that that is an important issue to raise.
