Michael Redmond states in his book ( p 142 ) that the circled black move is sente against the corner.

Well, white's next move from the book offers a hint. How about this for an anti-tsumego:
White to live.

Here, Black could get a ko by playing 7 at 8 and then answering White 7 with Q19.
But, what about Black 3 at a?

Wa,Bb,Wc,Bd won't produce another w eye nor escape, so w dies. But plenty of aji in the lower right, though!
edit: oops I forgot the circled black stone, so there is less aji. B4 at 10 might be better shape now.
