Neferneferuaten / Responding to hopeless invasions

Invasion by attaching to a stone

Let's consider this invasion.

Black is attacking a lone third line stone, so our immediate reaction should be to extend while blocking.

If left undisturbed, white may try to make a base with `a` or gain corner territory with `b` or `c`.

If it gets to this point, katago recommends blocking, then invading black's eyespace.
