Seems to be seki. Not all moves are necessary, and W can tenuki at various points and still have seki.

So it may be more fun to B to start operations in the first diagram with a move at 2 e.g.:

I suspect it's no improvement - both sides have no eyes and there are a reaonable number of shared liberties, which tends to result in a seki. But at least this way B is more likely to get sente.

It's a shape that looks like a ko but isn't. A term coined by the French/Dutch as a joke on the Belgians supposedly being a bit dumb. There's a few mentions on SL but not as a full page. See half way down http://senseis.xmp.net/?UserCreatedGoSlang or http://senseis.xmp.net/?topic=2707. By extension a Belgian ko threat is a duff threat which you can answer by resolving the ko. Apologies to Hushfield, Knotwilg and any other Belgians :) .

Not sure I have any choice about this - makes his wall a bit thin, but a disappointing result. I think I was greedy trying to mess around keeping the kill alive. The solid connection earlier just looks clearly better now.
