Cutting The Keima Can Be Severe

Keywords: Shape, Tactics

In this situation, assume that the ladder does not work for Black:

In both diagrams, the cut should usually be a big success for White.

Charles Isn't Black 4 in the last diagram questionable? And 6? And 7? Discussion now at Heavy play example.
