Snapback Problem 33 Attempt 1
    Keywords: Problem

Hmmm. So much depends on the rest of the board, both the ko threat situation and the size of other plays.

White sente (1)

I think that Black can play B2 when he is not afraid of the ko below, and the rest of the board is hot enough.

Ko

But perhaps B2, below, is more typical.


[Diagram]
White sente (2)

How hot is the rest of the board? B8 - W9 is a 3 point sente.

There are a couple of other variations. I like these two.

Mistakes

Black may also try B4, expecting W5 - B8. However, B4 is a mistake, as is W5.

White has W1. Now if B2, W3 - W5 kills.
