I have B in my guard and want to armbar their right arm. I get a two on one sleeve grip and break B's posture while dragging their arm across my body. Once I have their arm straightened out, I shrimp my hips out and change my grips and use my right arm to extend out and keep B's arm extended. My left arm comes around B's back and grabs the lat while I bring my chest close to B's shoulder so that they cannot drag their arm back across.
I let go of the sleeve grip with my right hand and use it to post on the mat to help me come up for B's back. Placing my forehead on the mat, I look towards B's feet as I simultaneously bring my left shin across the back of B's head and use my left arm to come around B's right arm. I stay as tight as possible and grab as high as possible on my lapel. I then use my right hand and grip B's shin palm up and sweep them over. After kicking my left leg over their face, I adjust the lapel grip and grab their thigh with my left. I lean towards the thigh to break the defending grip and finish the arm bar.

Guard:Pendulum Sweep
This move is a combo that can start with an arm bar and lead to the pendulum sweep or omoplata/triangle depending on how B reacts.
I want to sweep B to my left so I grip behind B's right elbow so that my palm is cupping the point of the elbow. I use my right arm to hook B's left leg and shrimp my hips out, bringing my right foot towards B's armpit. My left leg then comes over B's head for the armbar. At this point I have two options: I can let go of the elbow grip and try to finish the armbar or I can use my underhook to bring B's leg to my shoulder and grab B's wrist with my right hand.
When B stacks me I simply sweep them over and land in mount. If they pull the arm out I can shoot omoplata/triangle.
