Black to play

Charles Looks to me as if W6 here is not something White can afford: once the eyes in the centre are gone, White needs to live in the corner, as B7-B9-a is killing.

Ah, but as Black is cut off on the right, Black a is going to lead to a capturing race. So better to play Black b.

If White resists B7, it gets tricky.

Variation

In a game I'd want to play BC here. It gives White a chance to go wrong.

Variation 2 (continuation)

If it gets this far ... BNlack has a double ko worry.
