[Diagram]
Diag.: The shape game

White to move and make a living group. Black to prevent that. Black has to mind only about destroying white's shape, since his stones are connected by the marked stones at the sides anyway. Likewise, White has to care only about good shape: connect and make eyes.

ChessWhiz: By the way, does anyone know the answer to this exercise? Can white live, or can black kill unconditionally? Or maybe it's a ko? :-)
