Hey guys, Im working through Cho Chikun's Encyclopaedia of life and death (without the answers) and I cant find the solution to intermediate problem 62 and 71. Status problems black to play.

Yeah, that appears to be the solution to number 63. I couldn't find it at first, and I just thought it was set up wrong. Gah, my tsumego skills are so out of shape.

black can live with a, and there really isn't a way for white to get rid of that in sente, so black can probably escape along the bottom, i think...

Thanks a lot didnt think of (a) which is bizarre as the problem before this one (which is shown above) is almost exactly the same and I found that answer right before attempting this one.

Some continuation:

At 7 w cannot hane because of his weakness at a. So 7 & 8 are black's miai for life or escape, I think... Any local solution?
