Solution  

B1 kills.

Since Black has c to cut or x to reduce White's space tramendously,

only W2 at a or b will be considered.

c is mentioned here because bent four in the corner might worth something under some circumstances and rule sets.


Resistance 'a'

This exchange doesn't achieve much; the rest would be similar to the other two resisting attempts.

Resistance 'b'

[Diagram]
 

Black has x or y next.

Resistance 'c'

[Diagram]
 

After B3, White doesn't have enough space.




Failure

Ko.

For any other B1, the group is alive after W2.
