Main Line

[Diagram]
Solution

[Diagram]
Continuation

White has only two liberties.


[Diagram]

If White a, Black b and White cannot connect underneath (shortage of liberties).


[Diagram]
Sacrifice

Black sacrifices two stones to win the semeai.



Variations

[Diagram]

After B7, White clearly is one move behind.


[Diagram]

W2 and W6 puts up fierce resistance.


[Diagram]

Black sacrifices two stones but kills the rest.


[Diagram]

Playing W6 on this side does not work either. After B7, the best White can do is to capture B5 in sente.
