Nothing can work really, because if black does not take a liberty, white can always play b. The obvious move seems to be c, but if white plays d the result is quite disastrous with black losing all his stones in the corner.
This is playable and the correct use of the jaw strap. plays the jaw strap tesuji again. Black ends in sente because the forcing move at a guarantees a connected shape on the outside.
Compare the jaw strap with this. Black sacrifices a little less, and after the sequence to must protect the cutting point at a with
at b. (Taking sente is possible but the shape will play out different if not worse than above. For one thing, !W is in a good place. Assuming he wants to take sente, Black would rather build influence facing the center using the jaw strap.) -Slarty
