Correct
Black 1 looks really thin. White has no alternative
but to play 2. The game continued through 5, after
which Black's thin, weak-looking bottom stones now
look strong. And the Black cutting stone neutralizes
White's thickness.
White alternative
Pushing through with White 4 fails brutally to Black 5.
Natural, but slack.
After Black 1, White simply pushes out.
The result is acceptable to White.
Black is much weaker than in the game line.
