Solution

[Diagram]

White kills

W1 atari serves two purposes - preventing escape to the center and reducing the group's liberties. If B2 connects, W3 kills easily. W3 at a also kills.

[Diagram]

Variation 1

If B2 captures, then W3 kills. B4 at a dies in gote - even after that, he can't play at b for shortage of liberties.

[Diagram]

Variation 2

Although B2 can capture two White stones, Black has only one eye after W3.


Failure

Failure

W1 is a mistake. After B2, a living and b escaping are miai.
