Scartol: I'm surprised no one has responded to this yet. I believe this is correct; black has to play
If black plays the wimp and tries to run from the ko, he'll just die outright.
If white tries to play on the top first, black will just extend and make two eyes (white can't push at A or black will immediately capture).
Isn't that a false eye? Rich - No, because 3 is an illegal move - it's already totally surrounded, and it doesn't capture any stones. White has a ko threat at 'a', and otherwise black is absolutely uncapturable..
