No one is posting, I'll add a few more moves. Maybe I'm about to discover something obvious that I hadn't seen before? :-?

A few other variations that's more or less similar, black seems to live after 6.

Aha illluck, I didn't see that. But I think White can use a different move order. The problem is getting more and more variations so I'm switching to sgf:

You have the 5(a)-8(b)-10(b) variation ending in death, but you neglect :b14: at d13, which is ko.

On 5(a)-8(b)-10(c), you have :b12: filling in a shared liberty at A10, but if B takes an external liberty first, W has no move.

On 5(a)-8(a)-12(c), :b20: can fill the ko, and W has no move.

Thanks jts. I fixed the problems you pointed out. To fix the 3rd problem you pointed out, I had to add an extra white stone to the problem (oops!). Any more mistakes? :oops:

Dear all, in above variation, Black takes of course a liberty with :b3: from the other side
(the one with more libs), then would win the semeai.

i thought however of another sequence, which sprang to mind:

:b1: attempts to enlarge the eye-space, :w2: = A and :w8: try to do the opposite.
Black is dead after W10 = P., because Q and R are miai.

Note the usefulness of both white :white: ,
does this exact position really come from a game record?

Hi Tommie thanks for looking. Did you see my latest fix? See any problems?

Here is the real game it came from (I'm black, one of my many alternate names :batman: )
