B7 looks fine to me. Black may even be able to ignore this move, but I'm too lazy to read it out

Re: What should Black do in this case?
Thank you EdLee and emeraldemon!
That's what I've fairly unsuccessfully tried to convey - 'What is the best tactic to tackle White's invasion in that corner?'
I've tried several variants (although I've got a sneaking feeling they have nothing to do whatsoever with real games' variations) and, from my beginner's point of view, I don't think White has any chance to survive. However, I'm still not sure which moves are the best in this particular situation.
Thanks.

Re: What should Black do in this case?
can you come up with a variation where it looks like white lives, with white playing first?

If you were asking me, emeraldemon, I think that would be too much of a challenge for me. If you couldn't come up with such a variation I'm certainly not going to be better off.

Greetings,
I'm just abeginner so take it with a pinch of salt , but that seems to be one of those pointless moves that mars the end of lower level games. b7 seems good if one follows the basic idea of driving the stone towards your thickness rather than letting it set up a miserable mess in the corner.
Cheers,
Buri
