Double Snapback / Attempts 6

Aganju: okay, here is my attempt: (Actually, the task was 'Black to live', but by killing white, black is living)

at  

A throw-in at , and then atari to force white to use up her liberties.

White is dead.  

Let's first look at below : White cannot play at a because of self atari. After , if white takes at either a or b, black replays or for the double snapback.

unkx80: at ? =)

White is so dead.  

If instead here, white is helpless after . Any approach move at a, b, or c is self-atari.
Black can play b and then a at leisure; and finally c for the kill.

better survive smaller  

So white has to give up the three stones on the right with .

Now maybe the whole concept would work even better if the sequence is changed? Starting with , and playing / later might kill white for sure? (I leave that for someone else to analyze)

Yes, the throw-in reduces White's liberties in some lines, but Black's in others. So Black should wait to play it until they see which way White plays.
