Raw Peep

raw peep  

White shouldn't peep at , because cutting at is still a possible good move. The whole point of peeping is to gain a minor advantage by exploiting a minor weakness in the opponent's position, such as peeping at a Lion's Mouth to create a B2 Bomber. Peeping at a cutting point can be worthwhile, if cutting is a bad move -- however, any such approach is fraught with danger. Caution is advisable.
