Attempt 1  

ProtoDeuteric: makes an immediate eye while threatening to lasso tbe two white stones. protects from it, but is too slow for , which creates the other eye, and life with it. Noticing that also threatens the group, white presumably has to respond by connecting to her outside group with , thus ending this sequence in gote.

Also notice that could be played at (next diagram)

Variation  

ProtoDeuteric: If white plays this way, puts the upper black stones in atari. Black must respond at . , in turn, threatens the group, so white must respond with . puts the entire black group in atari, so black must capture the entire invading white group with . In the sequence itself, white loses (and black gained) a lot more (locally) than he needed to.

Black dies  

TimK: If Black tries 1 first, White lets the two stones go...

Black dies  

And recaptures.
