White to play. (8@3)

JoelR: W3 seems to work. It doesn't lose a tempo, because Black must play B6 before getting on with taking White's liberties, and it costs Black a liberty. It looked odd to me at first, because it looked like White was trying to make eye that was already ruined.

unkx80: Yes.

Failure

Compare this failure diagram. And W1 at B2 doesn't work, because after B2 at W1, White is way behind on liberties.

unkx80: Not "way behind on liberties", there is only a difference of one liberty.
