Black = @  White = O  Answer moves = 1, 2, 3, ...
=========================================

    The best that black can do here is to force a ko on white. After black
plays 3) H-10 white cannot fill at K-10. White must therefor kill the black
stones by playing at G-9,10. As you can see this is a two step ko for white.

    Black can be happy knowing that, even if he looses the ko, he has made
the best use of his 'dead' stones. Remember 'losing' the ko means 2 moves in
a row someplace else.
