Hmmm, White can save the side group, but does this work?

So then the wedge at 'a' isn't possible. However, given the importance of the top area for eyespace/connection for both the white and black group, this might have been a good way to shore up weaknesses in blacks corner. Also possibly it might be why white later played at 'b'.

I think blacks fine like this


I was actually considering that with the peep at 'a' remaining, white can steal the entire corner and force me to capture his stones and the result wouldn't be better than ko. I'm not sure though.

I enjoyed the battle, thx. Is it that only W's eastside and center will survive?
