Black's second move is e1, but which is the first?

Instinctively, I would try f2...

No, you have make use of the weaknesses of the stone on j3.
Bf2, We2, Bj2, Wk3, and black will lose the semeai. White has very many liberties.

You're right... my second choice would have been Bg2 but it seems it does not work either... so I try Bh2 threatening something like Be1 and Bk3 at the same time. But after Be1, there are some problems again. Now comes the idea of Bh1, interesting but I can't calculate all variations :/

Bc1, Bd1 & Be1 are also worth to try... too many possibilities to fail :)
