Solution

[Diagram]
Nakade

Black 1 kills by nakade. There's no way White can make two eyes now.


[Diagram]
Var 1: Eye in the stomach

If W2, B3 makes an eye in the stomach. If White next plays a, Black b makes a rabbitty six inside White's eyespace. If White does nothing, Black will eventually atari at either a or c.


[Diagram]
Var 2: Bulky five

If W2 here, B3 threatens to connect to the vital stone, next B5 almost fills with a bulky five.



Failures

[Diagram]
Failure at 3

Black 3 here is a mistake. W4 turns the position into seki.


[Diagram]
Failure at 1

B1 here is also wrong. W2 forces B3 and then W4 occupies the vital point. Next, Black a doesn't create a killing shape.


[Diagram]
Failure (ii) at 1

[Diagram]
Failure (iii) at 1

In both cases, White is able to take the vital point.
