White 1 involves some sacrifice tactics.
White sacrifices a stone at 1, and then proceeds making two eyes by capturing 2 and 4, sacrificing the marked stones. At several stages, White can mistake.
It's tempting to protect the marked stones, but Black 2 makes it ko. If White connects at A, Black B kills unconditionnally.
This exemplifies the proverb "Get strong at Gote". White dies in gote, the worst of all events, because Black can AlmostFill White's EyeSpace with a BulkyFive at any time.
At move 5, White can make more or less the same mistake. Black can start a ko at A or B.
Simply connecting is not good enough. After Black 4, Black will be able to AlmostFill White's eyespace with a killing shape.
Maybe this 1 is a candidate that comes to mind. Black grabs the VitalPoint at 2. 7 at 4. 8 prevents the throw-in at A and kills White.
