[Diagram]
Diag.: The four-space extension

An extension as far as White 3 is interesting here; but provocative. Black may well invade.

If White gets this result, her stones are perfectly placed.

Diag.: Black invades

Therefore it is natural enough for Black to invade, and try to make the marked white stone into a target for attack. Black 4 as shown is popular in pro games: a is also seen, while b was played in older games.
