Right, missed this one. Very neat counter for it. I have another candidate moves, but I'd rather think them more thoroughly :)

Then j2 and it's either a ko if white ataris on the outside or if connect black extends on the 2nd line at m2 and may or may not get a 2nd eye depending on if white blocks the centre and makes him crawl along the 2nd line for ages which should eventually get an eye, or denies the eye and drives him out to the centre. For a tsumego that probably counts as success, in a game not so clear...

@logan: Black can also jump with :b9: in the third diagram. Presumably he will be able to make an eye once he reaches the corner.

Yes, however you'd like to live on the side.
