A nakade in the presence of cutting points

[Diagram]
Cutting points.

Normally, the rectangular six are alive (3 and a are miai), but in this position, because of the two marked stones, Black 1 is an atari, forcing White to answer at 2, after which Black 3 kills the group.

Bill: As a technical term, I think that B3 is the nakade, while B1 is not, even though it is inside White's eye.

BTW, Black could play B3 first.
