[Diagram]
Bad peep

W1 peeps at the cutting point, at which B2 happily connects. A typical thank you move, since White has not accomplished anything while in return Black's major aji has disappeared.


[Diagram]
White should cut

White should cut at W1 in this diagram. Now the group at the bottom does not have a base and is under attack; and WC can cause trouble later in the game.

Compare the two diagrams. This one is obviously better for White.
