Anonymous: But it is Black's move. Do you imagine that Black played tenuki? Even if he did black+circle looks like a good response. Still on the line of symmetry.

Uberdude If it was white's turn she should just defend one of the cuts. Black no longer has a double threat. If black then cuts the other one white can capture the cutting stone.
