Well you all having been trying to solve life and death problems for
a while now so I thought that I would give you something a little different.
In this problem it is blacks turn to play. He is presented with a number
of different choices arround the board. It is up to you to decide what the
best move for black is out of the following 5 choices. (A, B, C, D, or E)
I will let you in netland try to figure this out for a while and then
post what a Japanese Pro (Naoki Miyamoto 9-Dan) thinks is the correct
answer and why.
