Thanks dany! This was interesting. But without a little more info, it was hard to judge how interesting at a glance. So let me confirm the situation.
Assuming Japanese rules and no komi, the overly straight-forward sequence below appears to be jigo. Note that Black has gained 36 points under the captured stones plus 1 additional point with moves 7 and 9 for a total of 37 points in the contested areas. The problem then becomes how can Black do better than this and how does White resist? From here I think there are people that can attempt this in their heads without needing an editor.
