White can live with B15… I got stumped on this variation. Ko always depends on threats but white has a bigger group so it’s something that black can play.

My first thought was: “if white just simply captures, how could black kill? How could black prevent that white makes an eye in the corner?”
It took me a while to see how. :grin:

yesterday's problem

I disagree with B18 as first move.
White can respond B19 and black dies.
