White applies PlayKikashiBeforeLiving with 1, and then occupies the VitalPoint 3.
BillSpight: The point about kikashi is rather subtle. There is a, well, grosser reason for White to play the hane first. It is actually a kind of probe, getting Black to commit to the connection. If White plays the 2-1 first,
Black makes an ApproachKo for the life of the group. Before winning the ko, Black has to connect the marked stones. a provides 3 local ko threats for White.
Assuming White knows the concept of PlayKikashiBeforeLiving, she may still fail to see the VitalPoint. Black 4 makes miai of A and B.
Here too, White misses the VitalPoint. Black 4 makes miai of A and B.
