Do not peep at cutting points

[Diagram]
Diag.: Bad peep

White 1 peeps at the cutting point, at which Black 2 happily connects. A typical thank you move, since White has not accomplished anything while in return Black's major aji has disappeared.


[Diagram]
Diag.: White should cut

White should cut at 1 in this diagram. Now the group at the bottom does not have a base and is under attack; and the marked stone can cause trouble later in the game.

Compare the two diagrams. This one is obviously better for White.
