Yeah, this one shows up in life and death manuals. I learned it as part of the J-group collection.

Two liberties each, but white needs an approach move and can't play either 'a' or 'b' directly, so black wins. If :w2: at :b3: instead, now :b3: at :w2: actually does work.

If Black a then White b and White has a ko to kill black stones in order to survive.

If I'm understanding this right, your "Black a then White b" ends up as a multi-step ko that is disadvantageous to white.

Initially I thought that this would be better:

$$ | . . O . . . . . . . . . X X O X 5 . . |

$$ | . . . O . X O . O O . . O b X X X X . |
$$ | . . . . . O . O . . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ | . . O O O . . . . . . . . . . . O . . |

$$ | . . X . . . O X . . . . . . . . X . . |
$$ | . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
$$ ---------------------------------------[/go]

Then 7 captures at 3 to start the ko. But this is also multi-step, and maybe the threat at b doesn't work.

It's interesting to me because I mentally went down several different paths that I thought were better than your solution, only to eventually convince myself that your solution looks better.
