White First

SnotNose: W1 essentially makes a Comb Formation, which is alive. I do not think this solution is unique but I haven't explored all branches.

Black First

SnotNose: B1 is the eye stealing tesuji with respect to BC. Any move other than W2 cannot work (if White a, Black b and if White plays anything other than W2, a, or b, Black can link up with a himself). If W2 at b, then Black plays at W2, White plays a, Black plays B3.

But W2 does not work since B3 threatens a snapback at b and creates a shortage of liberties for White. White dies.
