Black to play and connect underneath  

Symplicity (2k): B1 jumps to mind as a shape point, defending the cut at A and threatening simultaneously to connect under and pull out the stone at B. Unfortunately, if White responds with 2, cutting white at B does not immediately work:

So perhaps the trick is to eat up some of White's liberties by exchanging something like B1 for W2, or A, since now B5 is atari.

Same here.

If white captures here instead, B3 seems to link everything up, although Black may have to sacrifice his marked stones to maintain the connection.

Any refutations, or is this the solution?
