Not dropping back one line

Instead of this?

Aren't there two cutting points in both? Okay, I see that the latter is definatly weaker, but I don't see fewer cutting points.

Charles That would not be called a cutting point. To cut a diagonal connection requires two plays, not just one (normally). The page on atekomi may help.

Tas: Of course, I didn't notice that white was missing a stone there.
