Life & Death Problems

I didn't think long, so probably wrong ><
But how about... 7-1.. WHether white blocks your escae of plays 7-2, the next move is Dansu (Atari) at 5-1. White captures a stone, and black connects to the left or pushes at 7-3 for a Ko, depending on w's response to the first move. Of course, it should be a Ko and not just dead.
Hope it's right! Answer is not important anyway, I'd do better to sit down and read longer.

Well I glanced at this since I joined recently and I just have to interject to your slight analysis. If you play 7-1 as the starting point for Black and I am White I will play at 6-2 next. It fixes the weakness of you playing the 5-1 atari and if you just draw back with 8-1 then I descend at 6-1 and I live. :)
To further at some silliness to this I believe that the first couple moves for Black are actually Suicidal!
