Solution

The key move is the clamp at W3.

[Diagram]

Solution (W7 at black+circle)

If W4 connects here, then B5 captures two black stones and is an atari on the four black stones. As a result, B6 is unable to prevent white from living with W7.

Solution

If B4 connects here, then W5 captures all the black stones in a snapback.

[Diagram]

Failure (B4 at B2)

Capturing with W3 is a mistake. After B4 makes a throw-in, B5 can only make a ko which black takes first.

Failure

This W1 is hardly worth discussing.
