RTGProblem31/Attempts

I'm only a beginner but this is my attempt at a solution.

Life for black

I think the only place that will allow blacks group to grasp for life is at B1.

If B1 is followed by W2 and W4, in order to protect whites investment in the corner, then B5 extends down the right side and can either be sealed by W6 and W8 but will allow black's group to live.

Life for black as well

While this W4 contains black from spreading down the side but black can now attack the corner preventing white from gaining enough eyespace to live.

Either way black isn't in as strong a position as he could've been without the hane. He has the chance to recover the corner but would lose influence towards the right side and center.
