[Diagram]
corner  


this is a cross-cut
do you know how to handle the cross-cut
extend? at e16?
ok
but n ot the best
there are a few questions we have to ask
first, can you capture any opp's cutting stone immediately?
if yes, do it.
if no, ask 2nd question
can you save both of your cutting stones?
if yes, help weaker one
which one is weaker?
c17
agreed
so, please help inside stone first
which is the better way to help it?
b16?
b16 doesn't help b stone at all
b17 is ok. but c18 is better. why?
capure wd17
can capture white d17.
both b17 and c18 helped b c17 weak stone
but b17 puts pressure on w's stronger stone
and c18 puts pressure on white's weaker stone

  1. 1 - capture opp's cutting stone
  2. 2 help your own weaker stone.
