Is this position "finished"?

If you can work out the answer in less than 15 minutes, you are a better player than I am. If your program can work out the answer at all, I will be impressed. I set Thomas Wolf's GoTools working on it - its estimate of the time it would need rose to over two hours, and then it gave up trying.



Magog solved it in less than 6 seconds.

Ooops, Magog played by chinese rules, that's probably not interesting for you. Sorry,

Now tested it with Migos. To win under Japanese rules Black has to pass, so I let White move first. In about 200 seconds it proofs that White wins big time (by starting a ko at h1). So black can't afford to pass and should simply play h1 to obtain jigo under Japanese rules.
