[Diagram]
Vital point?

B1 seems to do the trick.


[Diagram]
One way to resist...

B3 forces the capture. The result is the same if W2 and W4 are reversed.


[Diagram]
White is dead.

The throw in makes the eye false, and there's insufficient room for white to run and make new eyespace.


[Diagram]
White's alternative plan...

Now a and b are miai for the kill.


[Diagram]
White tries to run...

If white plays W4 at a or b black again kills with c. If W4 is played at c, black has can kill with either a or b. He can't tenuki; white could take either to make an eye.


[Diagram]
Not quite...

This looks like seki, but the marked stones can eventually be placed in atari.
