KJD says that is punishment for
when
B is in place.
Continuation?
Uberdude This only really applies when black has already exchanged a for b (which helps black fight if white pushes through the gap between B and 2). The point is without the B stone black would defend at c and then white would have sente to make the counter-pincer at 4. But with B in place black can peep to fix the gap in sente and then play at 4 himself to secure his pincer stone and leave white with a weak group with no black weak groups to fight against.
