Tapir (2k these days): No, I don't think so, after
at
or

at a, however black should live easily by threatening to connect out.
HowToLose: It doesn't work...

in the first diagram doesn't even cut! Both players seems to be very attached to their stones, either saving each of them or losing them all... maybe i misunderstood the question.
