Correct.
Amazingly, Black 1 connects out to the stones on the right.
White 2 is one possible defense.
But Black 3 exposes a surprising shortage of White liberties.
Through 7, Black completes the connection.
See the SGF for more possibilities.
Failure.
Black 1 is a stylish symmetric move.
But Go doesn't always honor beautiful looking moves.
The forced sequence from White 2 to 8 captures the Black stones.
Failure.
Black can try to gain liberties with the descent to 1. But
White calmly reduces Black's liberties through 8. Again,
White captures the Black stones.
