Kanazawa Solution 41

Protect the side that is weakened by the marked stone.
White can't play 7 at the marked point because of damezumari.
The marked stones turn the hane at 4 into an atari to which White must react, so that Black can take away the second eye with 6.
This White 1 is punished the same way as her mistake in the follow-up to the correct answer (see above).
Enlarging the eye space at 1 invites Black to play at the vital point 2. Now 3 and 4 are miai. After 4, White has to prevent the capture and take a liberty at a upon which Black takes away the other eye at b.
Connecting at 1 in this way makes poor eye shape. Black plays on the vital point of this shape. Even if White continues with 5 at a, Black will be able to almost fill her eye space with a farmer's hat.
Connecting at 1 here is symmetric to Failure 4 and is once again countered by playing on the vital point. Addition:
In this symmetric situation, both legs of the white group have no liberties outside of the EyeSpace. Now a move at a or at b will be answered by a move at the point diagonally underneath. White is dead.
