This is an original problem inspired by a training game.
Black to play.
Solution
The unconventional first-line jump of black 1 is correct. White is unable to draw out his stone with 2 and on; up to 7, White is captured in an oi-otoshi.
White’s resistance with 2–4 is arguably more difficult to refute. Here, Black unleashes a second first-line jump with 5, and then the best White can do is turn the shape into a seki.
