    hexagon7:
    I'm only a puny 5 kyu here, 4 kyu on a good day, but Dogac makes sense to me. T4, S4, S5, T5, S6. Defense 1 (fails): Black blocks with S7, White ataris the inner group with Q4. Blacks only choice is capturing with t3, then White T2 gives black a connect-and-die. White lives. Defense 2 (fails): Black extends T7 looks weird, and White just follows on the S line until they have enough liberties for a net. Then it's Q4 and kapow, glorious capture.
    caranthir:
    Isn't this idea kind of already implemented in the answers? There's for instance the accepted sequence T4 Q1 R1 T2 S1 S4 S5 T5 S6. Now if opponent plays S7, the immediate capture of everything by shortage of liberties doesn't work because of earlier enemy throw-in and hane, but instead we can simply capture the two stones with T7 anyway and there's nothing the opponent can do. ------- I don't understand the Admin response from earlier. Either the problem used to be different, or they meant that it doesn't work for the opponent.

    Dogac:
    B A4 W b4 B b5 should work
    Admin:
    A4 B4 B5 A5 B6. Assuming there are no helping stones on the board this doesn't work.
