Just a nice little problem that came up in my game yesterday. What is the status of the white group?

If Black is unaware of

, and
, he might think that
would kill.
The Adkins Principle:At some point, doesn't thinking have to go on?

If one cannot see that white can live he might assume that white is dead

Well in the game I played the block at R18, which was ok anyway since I was winning and it makes some points (Bill: how many points? 4 or so?), but afterwards I realized I could've played elsewhere.
