Not good.
White 1 does not lead to a good result. With the sequence
through 8, Black can flee easily, and can aim at cutting
through with A later. In addition, Black's marked stone
limits the influence of the White's stones on the left side.
Correct.
Shuko felt that White should have jumped to 1 or even A.
The idea is to not let Black lightly settle his approach stone
in the upper left.
The game line.
White 1 is the game line, but Black takes the excellent point
at 6 that erases White's area on the left side while expanding
Black's territorial framework at the bottom.
White variation.
If White tries to avoid the previous diagram with 5, Black
can settle himself efficiently with 6, given that White 1
is not ideally placed.
