White to live  

Jasonred And a and b are miai?

unkx80: This is the solution, but the above comment is wrong.

White to live  

cutting at followed by the cut at , in place of White cutting at the location of , fails.

black resistance?

White to live (a / b miai for kill)  

tapir: I wonder about , can't Black play like in this diagram (avoiding the shortage of liberties). Likely I am hallucinating, please point out where. (I noted a different setup in the similar classical problems which would allow to capture at a in sente.)

White to live  

unkx80: After the black corner is not yet alive, so black probably don't have time to turn the top side into a false eye.

tapir: should kill. (Actually this is a typical mistake for me. Not looking at my own eyeshape.)

White to live  

unkx80: If you want to be doubly sure, this works as well. Corner is a L-group which is not yet alive.
