Task is to save both marked stones, not only one (with :b3: at :b5: ).

HUM...i am just copying the question from the website..
i dont think you can save both stone if white really try to catch one.
i guess i should change the problem to find the best result.

Connecting at :b3: doesn't work so well. There is no reason to try to save the one stone becuase the white stones cannot be capture. Try :b4: instea of :b3: .
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

As already written, I would play :b3: at :b5: .

But that is not as good. A W stone at M5 instead of a B one prevents B from encroaching any further into the corner.

If Black plays at L6, I cannot see how white can live.
In this variation the marked stones both live. I think. :)

After further and proper consideration, I now believe that both of the marked stones cannot be saved.
