This position looks familiar, but I don't have too much time to read through it right now. I have a line that looks like it could be good, though.

EDIT: I'm already finding other lines I need to handle with my solution, but it's fun to read out ... thanks Alakazam.

I'm currently thinking along these lines:

I haven't looked at variations yet to see if there's a better line, but this looks promising.

@Magicwand
Yup, I found that refutation, but I have to go pick up my son in a few minutes, so I don't have time to think about it more.

Isn't it tricky? ;p

It looks like an easy problem, but it took me unexpectedly long, at least 5 mins.

*Ahem.....

There is no answer...

XD

I thought I solved it, but then someone asked me to tell them, and I said not yet. Then I went to look at it again to make sure, and I found a problem. I tried for a whole longer and failed. I had a 9d on KGS try, and fail... There is no solution, sorry! My book was from King's Baduk Center, where I studied for 5 months in korea, and all the other problems have solutions...

Hahah

For those of us who worked it out in our heads only, we gained something anyway...! Not a waste of time.

Late last night I took a look at that problem, and never found a solution. I thought, I must have been too tired.

I modified the problem a little bit, and it is shown below. There should be a solution to this problem, although I don't know whether the solution is unique.

Alakazam, how would you rate this problem?

Kirby's solution is exactly what I have in mind.
