Dia. 2

The text says, Black´s play only helps if the ladder on a works...

[Diagram]

Continuation?

Is it not sufficient to create a loose ladder here for capturing the cutting stones (if White does not want to give up the right side), since the marked Black group has enough liberties? SvenB

[Diagram]

Continuation

crux: No, White will of course play like this instead.

Black to play and win.

Solution

[Diagram]

Solution No.2 ?

Interesting exchange?
