This took me a while (2k AGA). I found A5 but then reading all the variations from there was tough. Looks like White B4, Black A4, White B3, Black A3, White A6, Black C6, White A8, Black B6, White take A2, Black connect C2 works though.

Great problem!

Edit: totally didn’t have it right, really tough problem for me so thanks to sadaharu for link to OGS so I could play around with it. Above my level so glad to bang my head on it for a while

Hmm looks like you need to make the A8, A7 exchange before A3, A6?

Which variation are you talking about?

u/takamori 2d ago

Ah wow B1 instead of C1 because F2 or F3 is sente. this was too tough! Thanks for sharing the problem.

This is great. I thought i had an answer at T8, but trying it here, I didn't read it out far enough into the corner.

At first I thought it was C6 B6 A8 A7 A5 but it's never that easy. I think it's the first time I see trick with A2 and 2 stone sacrifice
