Another one.

Black just played double three on E2. Where white need to play in order to win?

How much detail did you want? Just the first move?

1. G4

seems like a win for white...

I've just given it a short look and not tried playing through it, but would 1. G4 A6 be problematic for white?
I.e. In more detail - 1. G4 A6 2. (A8 or D1) (A6 or E2) 3. the moves not chosen last time, 4. C4 A2

Yes, first move is enough. G4 looks good but doesn't work as Watsu wrote.
