I just came across this situation:

Black to play, can he capture?

That's what I played. White responded:

Yes, that's one of the trickier responses, but I think black is fine.

Click Here To Show Diagram Code
[go]$$Bc
$$ -------------------
$$ . . . . . . . |
$$ . . . . . . . |
$$ . . O O X . . |
$$ . O . X X X 1 |
$$ . . O X X O . |
$$ . X O X O O O |
$$ . X X O O . O |
$$ . O O X O . O |
$$ . . X X O O X |
$$ . . . O X O X |
$$ . . . 2 X X X |
$$ . . . 3 . . . |
$$ . . . . . . . |
$$ . X . X . . . |[/go]


Edit:

I guess this is the most tricky sequence:

[go]$$Bc
$$ -------------------
$$ . . . . . . . |
$$ . . . . 0 . . |
$$ . . O O X . . |
$$ . O 8 X X X 1 |
$$ 9 7 O X X O . |
$$ 6 X O X O O O |
$$ . X X O O . O |
$$ 4 O O X O . O |
$$ . . X X O O X |
$$ . . . O X O X |
$$ . . 5 2 X X X |
$$ . . . 3 . . . |
$$ . . . . . . . |
$$ . X . X . . . |[/go]


Then:

$$ . . O O X 8 9 |

$$ X X O X X O 7 |
$$ O X O X O O O |
$$ . X X O O a O |
$$ O O O X O c O |
$$ . . X X O O X |
$$ . . . O X O X |
$$ . . X O X X X |
$$ . . . X . . . |
$$ . . . . . . . |
$$ . X . X . . . |[/go]


Black one lib ahead, though I admit I probably won't read this out in a normal game.

I'd say it depends on ladders:

Click Here To Show Diagram Code
[go]$$Bc
$$ -------------------
$$ . . . . . . . |
$$ . . . . . . . |
$$ . . O O X . . |
$$ . O . X X X 1 |
$$ . . O X X O . |
$$ . B O X O O O |
$$ . B B O O . O |
$$ . O O B O . O |
$$ . . B B O O X |
$$ . . . O X O X |
$$ . . . . X X X |
$$ . . . . . . . |
$$ . . . . . . . |
$$ . X . X . . . |[/go]


It may be possible for White to use the aji around the marked black stones to make a ladder.

My first thought for White was this:

[go]$$Bc
$$ -------------------
$$ . . . . . . . |
$$ . . . . . . . |
$$ . . O O X . . |
$$ . O . X X X 1 |
$$ . . O X X O . |
$$ . B O X O O O |
$$ . B B O O . O |
$$ . O O B O . O |
$$ . 2 B B O O B |
$$ . . 3 O B O B |
$$ . . a 4 B B B |
$$ . . . . . . . |
$$ . . . . . . . |
$$ . X . X . . . |[/go]


This looks pretty dangerous for Black's T9 group, and White is threatening a good ladder at a.

Obviously, this is just a quick glance.

Marcus's post was the reason why I didn't post diagrams at first - I'm relatively certain I read all resistances by white out, but there were too many diagrams for me to post :p

Q8 is fine for Marcus's variation too - I think the variation I posted was the most difficult resistance by white.

I think.. I think a lot depends on the status of the lower corner?

After 4, white's 2 stones are harder to lean on than in illuck's diagram, and black's 3 liberty group becomes dangerously short. 6 seizes the opportunity to counter attack, but if there's already stones in this corner, it changes a lot about the nature of this problem.

In the game the lower corner looked like this:
