jfc: I spent a lot of time considering this problem before playing my move. I eventually decided that
After anonymous: Are you sure that works? - what is black plays atari connect? i.e. black a, white b, black c
jfc: I considered your sequence and I believe that white can enclose and kill black in the continuation. Please present any variation that demonstrates the contrary.
PatrickB: What about trying for a local seki and then killing the containing stones instead? jfc: excellent idea! I'm amazed that I missed this possibility. I struggled for hours looking for a line that would avoid seki on the side when I forgot that killing the black stones up by b would break the seki.
jfc: I was worried about black connecting his two marked groups as shown in this variation but as unkx80 points out below, if white plays PatrickB: I will admit to having missed this line on my initial analysis. Good catch, and interesting problem.
jfc: this race to capture is key. If the

unkx80: I think this can be yet another option. jfc: I'm so glad I asked this question here. Despite the amount of time I put in to this problem there are so many things I missed.

jfc: By the way, unkx80, I considered putting the this problem solution on the discussion page (where you have moved it) but then decided against it on the grounds that discussion pages should be for tangential material. I don't feel strongly one way or another. Anyone want to comment on this editorial question? unkx80: The original page was simply named "Solution", not as a sub-page of "BQM182", which prompted my renaming. Do you want the page to be renamed to "BQM 182 / Solution"? jfc: whoops! I had intended to create a solution subpage. I wouldn't bother which changing this page from discussion to a solution subpage. At least not until a convention is established as to whether solutions belong on their own solution page or whether the discussion page should be used for that purpose. On the wikipedia, the discussion page is for editorial discussions not actual content. If SL choses to followed this convention then the solution belongs on a solution page, not a discussion page. Bill: Hmmm. BQM pages here tend *not* to have solution pages. Which seems appropriate, as they are not problem pages per se. Besides, they are often difficult, and nobody here really knows what is best. In this case I took it that this page was intended for discussion about Jonathan's solution.
