Makuri

B1 is makuri. In this case it is the only move to kill White. In general, makuri involves giving atari in a case where the opponent can immediately take one of the stones involved in the atari, but you can then pull out the stone giving atari, or sometimes connect it underneath on the first line (a common endgame tesuji, example needed).
