Endgame Problem 5 / Solution

Solution

This problem has a hamete flavour, but it isn't really one. The black+circle move is the correct endgame move for Black.

The main thing about this problem is that White has to connect at W1. The rest proceeds as normal.

Failure

The atari at W1 looks usual, but it is a careless move. Black has the sequence of moves from B2 to B6, which turns the position into a ko.
