Eye space

There are two eye spaces here, the left one promising two eyes.

[Diagram]

Eye space

W1 strikes the vital point, preventing Black from making two eyes there.

[Diagram]

Solution

After B2 securing one eye, W3 destroys the other eye. W3 on a works, too, but leaves an additional ko-threat.

[Diagram]

Other B2

When Black secures the right eye first, W5 destroys the left eye.

[Diagram]

No ko

There is no chance for forcing a ko, because after W2, W4 captures two stones.

[Diagram]

Bad idea

After B2, White killing the left eye first is not a good idea, because B6 creates another potential eye.
