How about this?
Edit: I think that this is an interesting variant. I did not want to take away from the original, but now time has passed, and I am unhiding this note.

I actually think white to play is the more interesting one:
$$W Ko $$ ------------------ $$ | . 2 6 X . . . . . $$ | 4 O 1 X . . . . . $$ | 5 . 3 X . . . . . $$ | . O X , . . . . . $$ | . O X . . . . . . $$ | . O X . . . . . . $$ | . O X . . . . . . $$ | . X X . . . . . . $$ | . . . . . . . . .
[go]$$W Alive I believe. $$ ------------------ $$ | . 2 . X . . . . . $$ | 3 O 1 X . . . . . $$ | . . . X . . . . . $$ | . O X , . . . . . $$ | . O X . . . . . . $$ | . O X . . . . . . $$ | . O X . . . . . . $$ | . X X . . . . . . $$ | . . . . . . . . .[/go]

Oh man, I completely missed that. I need to do more tsumego

This is a nice shape, and I would like to put it or some variation of it on goproblems.com if it's not already there. Could I have your permission to do that (I would give credit of course), or maybe you'd like to do it yourself?
Thanks!

ndkrempel: I'll be happy to add both variants, as soon as I'm sure I understand them
Bill:
So it seems like your saying in the variant you posted, the correct solution is an approach ko, but in the original problem white can live? In particular this line:
$$W Works for W $$ ------------------ $$ | . 5 . X . . . . . $$ | 4 O 1 X . . . . . $$ | 8 2 3 X . . . . . $$ | 6 O X , . . . . . $$ | 7 O X . . . . . . $$ | . O X . . . . . . $$ | 9 O X . . . . . . $$ | a X X . . . . . . $$ | . . . . . . . . .

With no stone at a, white can play 9? If that's the difference, it's certainly an interesting variation

attempts to avoid ko. But Black fills, sacrificing four stones.

White cannot capture because of shortage of liberties.
