Attempt

thanatos13: this is it, right?

[Diagram]

Attempt

kb: Doesn't work. Even without the white+circle stone, W8 at a captures three stones.


unkx80: This appears to be one of those problems where the original problem poster has left SL a long time ago, yet nobody here is exactly sure of what solution to expect.

[Diagram]

Attempt

I suspect the intended solution is something along this line: the key is to force W6 and W8 so that B9 can separate the White stones at the top.

togo: W2 at W4 seems to be enough to defeat this plan.

[Diagram]

Foiling the plan

togo: Aforementioned refutation with a continuation (B11 to W14 at a to d).

[Diagram]

Attempt

togo: Maybe ko is the solution (B11 at a).

togo: Oh, well, forget it: White at b saves the white group (Also with eg. B3 at B5 and W4 at B3).
