This problem seems more complicated than the other one. White seems to be a dead shape in the corner this way. This was the second path I considered, after 1 at 2 and 2 at 1, which didn't seem interesting for black. I only spent about 20 seconds on this, because I was trying to answer quickly. If I'm terribly wrong I'll think much longer on the next ones... NB playing 2 at 3, black now wins the liberty race, it seems.

Edit: 5 at the marked stone.

And yes, I missed an obvious variation and am wrong =o


Edit again:
After a cup of coffee and some sulking, I now think this is the answer:

$$ | . . . . . . . . a b 1 O 4 |
$$ | . . . . . . . c d 5 e 3 . |
$$ ----------------------------[/go]

And white has shortage of liberty problems. Either 6... a c b d or 6... b d e recapture happen.

5 is played at the marked stone, 6 to the right of that, 8 at the marked stone, 9 can be played in a few spots to prevent the corner eye... I like the corner point...

I thought the same as you, in fact I posted it as well, making me look rather silly.

@loons
what about :w6: at b in your second example.. I think that leads black to be captured...
*Edit* better explanation: :w6: at b... that forces black to play :b7: at e to prevent the capture... then :w8: at d... black is dead...

I dont see whites snapback if they ignore e working because of too many white liberties...
I'm thinking...

Why, pray, would you want to prevent that capture?

@loons

If you dont prevent the capture, how do you plan on making it work... using the snapback doesnt seem to work because of the two liberties that open up for the left white group when the exchange is made

My solution matches Loons', but gives part of the continuation. Here's how it would play out:

I love that everyone but Marcus thought of the same wrong answer first

Edit: Including Marcus, though he caught onto it a bit faster than the rest of us :P
