Black to play
For this week, we have this doozy of a problem. It's actually quite simple, but the first move is key and might not be intuitive for some. If you need a hint, just think of a way to make the bottom not an eye, since White clearly has a solid eye on the right.
Solution for last week's problem:
If you saw the tesuji of White 1 then you get a gold star! We need to create miai (a two way street) to get rid of that second eye since the first one is rock solid.
What makes this problem fun is that that sneaky stone in the corner gives us a solid bridge out, so that our stones can take the vital spot without fear of being captured. Try out other variations in your head too! Just because we find the right first move, doesn't mean that we still cannot mess up the followup.
