Solution

[Diagram]

Black saves both groups

B1 secures one eye and a and b are miai for another eye - the left group lives. In addition, B1 makes c sente and saves the right group too.

[Diagram]

White attacks the right

After W2, B3 threatens to capture and connect the groups, so White must connect at W4. B5 makes the necessary eyes.

[Diagram]

Black saves both groups

Any other inside play is met by B3, which gives atari and makes a bent four living shape, with W2 and B5 as miai. W2 at W4 is also met by B3.


Failure

[Diagram]

the left group dies

B1 here is a mistake - after W2, a and b are miai to kill the left group.
