This looks a bit like the bulky five. So B1 makes miai of W2 and B3...

Solution  

W4 makes a double atari. B5 connects...

Solution.  

And B7 isolates two white stones. If White captures by playing in the corner, Black will take all three in a snapback. If White plays elsewhere (for example, a, putting seven stones in atari), Black plays in the corner to capture two and form a second eye.

What about W4?

[Diagram]
Solution?continued  

White makes an atari with W4. After B5 throw in at W4. a becomes a false eye and black is dead?!

Alex Weldon: This shows a misunderstanding of what a false eye is. The throw-in accomplishes nothing... if White ever ataris at b, Black just captures the throw-in stone (by playing at the marked point), and both points a and W4 are real eyes for Black.
