a 9x9 go problem,updated

     as presented at https://online-go.com/puzzle/1337




Francisa says the solution begins with E7 (or on the flipped board E3, or on the 90 degree rotated board G5).  Is this a real solution?



























Not real.  The real solution begins actually with  E8 (or on flipped board E2  on the 90 degree rotated board H5)--which kills the 4 stone attacking group.    But how?  Here:



This E8 is best.
black in big trouble. 
 If h5 here, then white just cuts off the 2 weak ones:

and whitte wins.  
....................................................
  But we should look at other starting moves for black:


 Even if white gives up a5 and b5, the game is his.
.....................................................

It's important for white to push in--this kills.
...........
This one is similar to the last one:



       black dies in race to capture.
