One Space Jump Connection From Two Wall

I find this happening to me a lot. A two stone group is surrounded and down to two liberties. You need to connect out, but an extension is too slow (and makes an empty triangle). A one space jump seems the only other choice... but will it work?

Can't help you here though!


Let me know if you have any other input on similar situations!
