DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU WANT TO SOLVE THE CORNER PROBLEM BELOW YOURSELF
Blak could kill white, but he has to be careful about his stones too. Should black go for the kill, or does he have to defend before? He probably can kill, as otherwise white could take this cut as part of the joseki sequence.

There was a white stone at a which I edited out. Not totally sure if it changes anything, you may see it as an extra-question :mrgreen:

Oh boy the move 5 simply looks gorgeous, while so simple I bet I'd have missed it in an actual game.

For a more interesting corner problem, remove the stone at E16.

White needs medical help. He is in critical condition. ;)
