Working Through J B S Problem
   

[Diagram]
Diag.: Black to play.

I've gotten this far. Not quite sure what W's next best move is.

Diag.: White to play

This doesn't look too bad...


[Diagram]
Diag.: Black is captured

If black tries to escape with 2, W can capture.

Diag.: White to play

And if Black doesn't force W somehow, 3 captures the stones.

Diag.: Black to play

Perhaps we should step back to here. The problem with Black playing anywhere besides the marked spot is that white will play there which is very big for her.

I'm stumped. I've tried other variations, but this one still seems the most promising. If you know the answer, please don't post it here, but perhaps show the first two moves of it.
