    Keywords: Question

In the 33rd Kisei title match, second round, the following position arises.

White is Yamashita Keigo (Kisei) and Black is Yoda Norimoto (9 dan)

[Diagram]
Moves 164 to 170  

In the game, black plays 2, and white secures his group with 3 to 7.

[Diagram]
What is white's answer to this?  

What happens if black plays 2 here, instead? Can't he get a picnic ko at a? Hopefully someone can explain how white can get a superior result after this move.
