Life In 19x19 :: L & D Series from cyberoro (1D~4D) problem #31

First attempt was this:

But I couldn't deal with this (30 seconds of time taken to refute):

White seems to be a dead shape in the corner this way. This was the second path I considered, after 1 at 2 and 2 at 1, which didn't seem interesting for black. I only spent about 20 seconds on this, because I was trying to answer quickly. If I'm terribly wrong I'll think much longer on the next ones... NB playing 2 at 3, black now wins the liberty race, it seems. Edit: 5 at the marked stone. And yes, I missed an obvious variation and am wrong =o Edit again: After a cup of coffee and some sulking, I now think this is the answer: Click Here To Show Diagram Code [go]$$Bcm1 Prisoners: W=0, B=0 $$ ----------------------------- $$ \| . . . . . . . . . . . . . \| $$ \| . . . . . . . . . . . . . \| $$ \| . . . . . . . . . . . . . \| $$ \| . . . , . . . . . , . . . \| $$ \| . . . . . . . . . . . . . \| $$ \| . . . . . . . . . . . . . \| $$ \| . . . . . . . . . .

Either 6... a c b d or 6... b d e recapture happen.

I'm apprx. 9k and spent about between 3-5 mins (probably more like 5... its late and I lose track of time easy) on this problem...

@loons what about at b in your second example.. I think that leads black to be captured... Edit better explanation: at b... that forces black to play at e to prevent the capture... then at d... black is dead... I dont see whites snapback if they ignore e working because of too many white liberties...

@loons If you dont prevent the capture, how do you plan on making it work... using the snapback doesnt seem to work because of the two liberties that open up for the left white group when the exchange is made
