[Diagram]
Diag.: White lives

This move, making nice shape (see OkiWantsIkkenTobi), captures the marked stone and simultaneously protects against the placement at a. Any other move would allow Black either to capture two stones or to place a stone at a, connect it and reduce White to one eye.


[Diagram]
Diag.: Main line

All in all, this is a familiar line of play. Black can't connect at 5 because of damezumari



[Diagram]
Diag.: Variation 1

Due to the circled liberty, White can descend to 5, because Black's play at a is not atari.



[Diagram]
Diag.: Variation 2

Hmmm. This variation is probably even not worth giving. Anyway, it is important for White to answer 2 at 3.
