White lives
White makes two eyes with one strike. There is an eye at each circled point.

Now
and
are miai for the protection of the second eye.

Continuation 2
If the circled liberties at a and b were filled, Black could kill this way.
Once the vital point has been played (
in the solution diagram) there is not much room for mistakes by White, so we will concentrate on what can go wrong at the first move.

Failure 1a
is a natural move. But up to
, a and b are left as miai for the kill.

Failure 1b
Here
and
are miai: up to
is one way for White to die.

Failure 2
The 1-2 point is another natural point to try, to make life, but
Black can occupy
, which is connected to the marked stone through a large monkey jump.
