White kills

splice: W1 kills. If Black connects above W1, White plays hane under and if Black tries to catch White in shortage of liberties...

[Diagram]

White connects out

...he is himself caught short of liberties since Black can't play at the circled point, and White captures the group: White connects to her outside group and Black has no second eye.

[Diagram]

Black descends

If Black descends...

White connects, Black must play under to connect to the rest of the group, but there still is no second eye.

Dansc: Actually, Black has no way to make a second eye after W3. B4 is dying in gote, and W5 should tenuki.

White doesn't kill

Symplicity: Black lives like this. a is a guaranteed eye.

[Diagram]

White doesn't kill

White has no time to play b to falsify the eye since W3 is in atari.


thanatos13: I think the point of this is to play in a vital point that connects. This looks a bit like the belly tesuji, that's what i look for first anyways.
