I was collecting old games record as usual, when I spot this rare but interesting moment in the following pro game:

http://www.go4go.net/go/games/sgfview/37110/80

This is basically a Bent four in the corner, plus a 10000-year ko outside. White needed to make two approach moves and then win the ko, in order to save the bend-four corner. Seki isn't an option here.

I would be so lost as to how to proceed with the rest of the game if that position came up in a game I was playing.
