White wins

W1 is the only correct move. B2 here is inferior.

Solution: Ko

Black should choose the other 1-2 point. B6 and B8 make ko (B6 at a loses to W7 at B6). (Against this small box shape, the 1-2 point nearer to your weaker string is usually the better choice because it threatens to connect underneath and increase the liberties. Compare the two diagrams)
