[Diagram]
Solution  

W1 is the solution. Note that capturing W1 and W3 gives only a false eye.

[Diagram]
Variation  

Another path where black ends up dead. a and b are miai, as are c and d.

[Diagram]
Failure  

W1 allows B2 to live. (However, if B2 is mistakenly played at a, then White at B2 kills.)

[Diagram]
False Eye part 1  

baerrach: I had trouble seeing the false eye, so here are the diagrams.

White can't play at B3 because of damezumari.

JoelR: I wouldn't call this damezumari. It's just the usual principle that capturing 2 doesn't make an eye. By the way, W2 can tenuki.

Bill: The term is connect and die. :)

False Eye part 2  

Now there is no eye
