Tesuji Problem

Tesuji Answer  

This problem was contained within a chapter that dealt with the capturing of cutting stones. The knight move tesuji was discussed, and I understood the examples given.

However, I don't see how here captures the cutting stones. Or rather than capture them, is the aim simply to connect? I suspect the later, but no other problems in this chapter do that.

Please enlighten me.

The act of typing this up three times (Thanks IE!) has enlightened me...I think.

Tesuji Followup  

Something like this, and it seems like Black has nowhere to run to. I need to improve my reading ability. *sigh*
