Solution

This is a first line large knight's move connection. For this problem, the required diagonal move is B1.

[Diagram]

Solution, continued

If W2 ataris, then either B3 or a connects. The black+circle stones happen to set up a snapback, so no problems here.

[Diagram]

Failure 1

The other diagonal at B1 for the first line large knight's move connection does not work for this problem. W2 can cut the connection.

[Diagram]

Failure 1, continued

If B3, then W4 is an atari without snapback possibility.

[Diagram]

Failure 2

It's tempting to play on the point of symmetry with B1 in the middle, but white can cut with W2 here.
