3 is shape intuition and seems to kill. Black can make one eye in sente in centre with a-f. 7 is the key move, my first idea (actually before that was C4 before I noticed 4 sente) was hane A3 but that's a mistake as it allows a6 sente to make the second eye

The sequence I thought of was similar to Uberdude’s, except a little bit worse: I had :w7: at b4 instead of a4. But it doesn’t work since black can use a6 on sente..

Aficionados of Sonoda will note that :w7: has a diagonal relationship to :w3:. A-03 does not. :)
