Dieter: from a game of mine. I'm figuring out what to do next. Obviously, cutting at a is not a good idea.

BobMcGuigan: A White play at b next looks good to me. If Black connects to the left of B6 white a captures the stone at B4.

dnerra: Wow, Dieter, you must be much stronger than me if it is obvious to you that cutting at a is bad :P Seriously, either first atari at a then b or b directly seem the only alternatives to me. The difference is very small and subtle. The problem comes in the next move:

How to continue?

Both a and b seem reasonable shapes to me. Depending on that choice, and on which atari black choose to capture W1, you will have to choose between c and d as follow-up[1]. But I would have a good feeling with white in all variations.
